Pelham - New York, Bridgman Publishers Inc., 1941. Eleventh printing. Hardbound in green cloth with no jacket. 255 x 182 mm, 216 pp. Title, author and a drawing stamped in gold on the front cover. Bradel-style hinges. Ex-libris behind the front board, small stamp on the title page. A timeless book about human anatomy and how to draw it. With explanations and simple, yet sophisticated drawings. Enriched with two pages of drawings by a previous owner, likely working as a public servant in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Brazil (one of the pages bearing a printed mention of it). In good condition. Some fading on the right side of the front board, inside is crisp and clear. Enriched with three custom drawings by a previous owner.
A quality classic. The former owner and author of the custom drawings was apparently more inspired by this very book than by a tedious bureaucratic work.
