Gründliche Anweisung zur Zeichenkunst durch die Geometrie: mit vielen Kupfern
A German drawing manual from 1796 by Georg Heinrich Werner, held by Heidelberg University Library, teaching draughtsmen to construct forms through geometry and is illustrated with many copper engravings. The plates show geometric constructions with compasses and ruler, solids such as cubes and pyramids drawn in perspective, and rococo cartouche studies with scroll outlines. A designer might draw on the clean construction diagrams for layout grids, or on the scrolled cartouche plates for ornamental framing.
