Preißler, Johann Daniel · 1759 · 9 pictures

A German drawing manual of 1759 by Johann Daniel Preißler, issued for amateur draughtsmen who wished to copy fine landscapes and prospects, with the plates etched by the author himself. The pictures are sheets of trees, conifers, and garden architecture set in framed boxes, showing how to build foliage and ground from simple outline up to shaded finish, a method a designer could borrow for tree studies and background scenery.
