| Noting a dearth of general zoological anatomies for artists, the great naturalist, writer, and illustrator Ernest Thompson Seton took it upon himself to create one. Here, in one of the most widely consulted books on the subject, he gives a definitive artist's-eye view of the exterior anatomy of animals, helping readers to depict surface features, such as hair or fur, as well as basic body and facial structures.
Chapters cover a number of domesticated and wild species – from the anatomy, size, and proportions of dogs, cats, and horses to grizzlies, camels, and an Indian elephant. The book includes 100 illustrations on 49 plates.
Book specifications: paperback, 160 pgs., 9 3/8 in. x 12 1/4 in.
