Daedalus, or, The causes and principles of the excellence of Greek sculpture is a London art treatise of 1860 by Edward Falkener, written for students and readers of classical sculpture. Its illustrations include draped figures, a carved relief, and a lion, drawn in plain outline and photographic plates that show how Greek garments fall in folds and how sculpted surfaces catch light, useful to a designer studying drapery and stone form.
