Description: Legend to the illustrations in the print: Figure 1-10. The Head, 11-14. Entire body, 15-16. Artistic anatomy, 17-21. The hands. [an excerpt frm the original description] The first thing to be considered in drawing the body is the proportioning of the several parts to each other. The proportions, however, keep constantly varying until the individual has attained his full growth, i. e. before his twenty-first year. The length of the head, or, according to other masters, that of the face, has been taken as a unit, with reference to which the measure of all the other parts has been determined. Now the proportion of the head to the whole length of the body is different in different years. In the new-born child, the head usually comprises one fourth of the entire length ; in one three years old it is one fifth of the length ; and in an adult it is one eighth. In a child three years old. like those represented in the groups in figs. 11 and 12, the head is a fifth part of the whole length ; in one of seven years it amounts to onlv two thirteenths ; while in one of twelve years it is almost one seventh. In a youth of seventeen the head is 4/21 of the length; and a full grown man has a length of eight heads or ten faces. In females the proportion is always rather less.
