It’s really inspiring , not only a figure drawing book, but much much more.

I suppose it could be interpreted a couple of different ways (grin).

One rather quaint attribute is that although many of the figures are otherwise nude, they’re nonetheless rendered wearing heels.

The demand was clearly there. I would see links to scans for all five of his books. People willing shared them over the internet.

I am glad that the books are being reprinted and more people will be able to discover the valuable knowledge held within.

In revisiting this book, I marvel at our varying conceptions of the ideal woman and our attitudes toward nudity as presented by artists over the millenia, especially in comparison to popular culture.
