Nöthigste Anweisung in der Zeichenkunst, wie die Theile des Menschen durch Geometrische Regeln und nach dem vollkommensten Ebenmase ganz leicht zu zeichnen, zusammen zu setzen, und die Gestalt eines Ganzen vorzustellen: Mit Kupfern
A 1783 German drawing manual by Georg Heinrich Werner, issued with copperplate plates from Heidelberg University Library, teaching students to draw human body parts using geometric rules and ideal proportions. The plates show anatomical studies of statues and figures, arms and torsos with construction grids, eyes, noses and mouths in numbered rows, and putti decorating a text page. A designer might take from them the clean diagrammatic method of building figures from measured grids and the stylised engraved line.
