Elements of Design is an 1879 drawing instruction book by American physician-artist William Rimmer, published in Boston and New York for parents and teachers. Its pictures are figure studies of the human body in stiff line, showing front, side and back views, skeletons, and numbered stick figures in walking and lunging poses that a designer could use to plan posture and gesture.
