Polyclète ou théorie des mesures de l'homme: selon le sexe et l'age ; avec indication des grandeurs réelles d'aprés le pied du Rhin
Johann Gottfried Schadow's 1866 French treatise on human proportion, Polyclète ou théorie des mesures de l'homme, was published in Germany for sculptors and artists studying the body by sex and age. The plates are ruled line drawings of standing nude figures in front, side and back views, with grids and measurement annotations. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic figure construction and the grid method for placing a body in proportion.
