L' Art Du Dessin, Enseigné Par Correspondance: En Trente Leçons, Divisées En Trois Parties Composées De Dix Leçons
An 1840 French drawing instruction book by Victor René Garson, taught by correspondence in thirty lessons, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its plates are lithographs and engravings of horse heads and a spaniel, drawn as models for students learning to draw animals. A designer can take from them the clean hatching, soft shading of coat and mane, and simple contour line used to build an animal head from its basic shapes.
