Anleitung zur Landschaft-Zeichnung in Handzeichnungs Manier

Wagenbauer, Max J. · 1810 · 16 pictures

Anleitung zur Landschaft-Zeichnung in Handzeichnungs Manier is a German drawing instruction book by Max J. Wagenbauer, published in 1810 and held by Heidelberg University Library, written for students learning to draw landscapes by hand. Its engraved plates show individual trees in stippled and hatched pencil-like tones, with a foliage mass built from many small marks and a trunk and branches set against bare ground. A designer could take from these plates a method for building organic foliage with tonal dots and short strokes, and for suggesting light and shade without solid outlines.
