Synopsis

"The Science and Art of Model and Object Drawing" constitutes a fantastic introduction to drawing from real life objects and models, designed for the self-instruction of teachers and art students. It covers both theory and practice, offering the reader simple instructions and explanations coupled with simple, handy diagrams. Highly recommended for all with an interest in improving their drawing skills. Contents include: "Terms and Definitions", "Of Limits", "Of Extension", "Quantities of the First Degree-Lines", "Quantities of the Second Degree-Surfaces", "Quantities of the Fourth Degree-Inclination", "Words Denoting Position and Relation", "Orthographic Projections", "How to Read Apparent Forms", et cetera.
