Johann Daniel Preißlers, ehemaligen Direktors der Maler- und Zeichen-Akademie zu Nürnberg, Theoretisch-Praktischer Unterricht im Zeichnen: Johann Daniel Preißlers, weiland Directors der Maler- und Zeichen-Akademie in Nürnberg, Anatomie der Maler: Mit 16 Kupfertafeln
This is an 1811 German anatomy manual for painters, edited by Carlo Cesio from Johann Daniel Preißler's Nuremberg academy teaching, issued by Heidelberg University Library. Its copperplate pages show muscles of the arm, leg, torso and shoulder with lettered keys and numbered labels along the margins. A designer could take from them the precise muscle structure beneath the skin, drawn in fine hatched line that suits figure studies and anatomical reference.
