Les proportions du corps humain: mesurées sur les plus belles figures de l'antiquité et gravées
Les proportions du corps humain, a collection of engraved plates by Gérard Audran, published in 1890 and drawn from measurements of the finest antique figures, held by Heidelberg University Library. The plates show full-length male and female figures annotated with measurement lines, fractional divisions and labelled points, with some showing front, side and back views. A designer could take from them the classical canon of body proportion and a clean, schematic way of showing construction lines over a figure.
