Anweisung zum Landschaft-Zeichnen: nach den vorzüglichsten Meistern zusammengestellt
A German landscape drawing instruction book compiled by Carl August Richter and published in 1843, drawn from the work of leading earlier masters for students learning to draw landscapes. The four plates show etched trees in pen-like linework: a spreading oak-type canopy with clustered leaves, a windblown tree bending across the frame, and a gnarled trunk with ivy and shrubs at its base. A designer could borrow the method of building foliage from clusters of small looped marks, and the way a single tree is staged against a blank ground.
