Der Naturzeichner: Eine gründliche Anleitung, einen jeden Gegenstand, ohne Kenntniß der Perspective, Optik u. s. w., in kurzer Zeit richtig nach der Natur zeichnen zu lernen ; Mit 5 Tafeln Abbildungen

Rohne, K. · 1840 · 1 picture

This 1840 German drawing manual by K. Rohne, held by Heidelberg University Library, teaches readers to draw objects from nature without training in perspective or optics, and includes five plates. The one picture shown is a bookplate reading Ex Libris Rudolf Reppert, with a woodcut-style interior of a window, a draped curtain, a classical statue, books and a bird on a ledge. A designer might take its dense hatched linework and tight black-and-white framing as a model for vignette-style ownership labels.
