Der kleine Anatome oder Handbuch des figürlichen Zeichnens zum Gebrauch der Vorbereitungsschulen und für Liebhaber dieser Kunst
Der kleine Anatome, edited by Carl Alexander von Heideloff and published in 1830 in German, is a drawing handbook for preparatory schools and amateur artists, held by Heidelberg University Library. Its plates show the human musculature in engraved line: the arm, full standing figure, the skull and facial muscles, and the foot, each labelled with figure numbers. A designer could take from them the clear, layered way anatomy is built up in outline, with muscles described by contour and hatching rather than shading.
