"Highly recommended as one of the very few books on the subject worthy of being used an an authoritative guide." Design"Illustrators, sculptors, and taxidermists who draw or model animals will welcome this new revised edition." Natural HistoryHere are 288 remarkably lifelike drawings of animals, furnishing artists and students with an easy-to-follow method of instruction in the drawing of horses, dogs, lions, cows and bulls, stags, and goats. So detailed and so accurate are these drawings that this book has long been a classic work of its kind.The animals are shown in three ways: external full views and dozens of details (paws, head, eyes, legs, etc.); beneath-the-skin drawings of musculature and of the positions and insertions of each muscle; and skeleton drawings of the bone structures that support and determine surface contours and configurations. In addition, special cross-sections dissect those portions of the animal such as the head and limbs that are most important to the artist.For this edition, Lewis S. Born of the American Museum of Natural History collected 25 plates from George Stubbs's Anatomy of the Horse, long unavailable; Straus-Durckheim's Anatomie Descriptive et Comparative du Chat; and Cuvier and Laurrillard's Anatomie Comparée. These plates, as fully annotated as the plates that make up the original book, supplement Ellenberger, Baum and Dittrich with anatomical drawings of the monkey, the bat, the flying squirrel, the rat kangaroo, the seal, and the hare. Mr. Lewis also provided a new preface and added to the annotated bibliography, which now contains 66 items. Review: Five Stars - Good book. Review: Excellent - Excellent book

真正面からの頭骨もあばらも背面の骨盤も肉球と爪すらも
正面からの全身骨格資料として重宝しています。 馬・犬・ライオン・ヤギ・牛などが主です。 部位解説は英語ですが、とにかく図が大きく、しっかりスペースをとってあるので 非常にわかりやすいです。筋肉図と骨格図が様々なアングルで比較解説されています。 ほどほどに書かれた体毛のシルエット、動物の健康に関わる骨や蹄、爪の図解なども。 イヌ科の全身骨格の正面・背面資料を探していたのでありがたいです。 ただし、「口を開けた状態」の上顎・下顎別の歯並びのわかる図は少なく、 正面から噛み付こうとする動物の顔の資料には向きません。 また、骨格図ですので、躍動感に関してはK.ハルトグレンの著書等のほうが参考になります。

Incredible, invaluable!
I wanted a book that specifically focused on horses. Anyone whose drawn horses, even for years, knows that getting this animal down pat is no easy feat. Studying anatomy is a must. This is THE book. I have so much respect for the person who drew these plates. It's astounding work. The anatomy is shown from every angle; starting with skeletal plates, adding muscles and so forth, these plates "build" the horse from the inside out. After studying the legs I cut myself some slack! This is a very beautiful, complex animal. No wonder this is such a challenging subject! There are smaller additional sections on a few animals as a bonus. I found the cat skull study to be immensely helpful. I don't recommend this book for anyone who wants a how-to on every animal in the world, this isn't for you. Nor is it for beginning artists. It is for serious artists who want to do in depth study of horses because we can't all just walk outside and see horses everywhere. There's nothing like the real thing, but this is a good second choice when the real thing isn't available for study. This is one of those books that I actually revere and am very proud to have in my reference library. A serious resource for serious art study.
