Anatomy of Animals: Studies in the Forms of Mammals and Birds

Ernest Thompson Seton was pre-eminent artist and naturalist who lived and worked between 1846 and 1940. The Anatomy of Animals contains sketch studies of the wild life found in Canada and the United States and is considered a useful reference book for artists who paint, carve or sculpt wild life.

Seton 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 anatomy, size, and proportions of dogs, cats, and horses to grizzlies, camels, and an Indian elephant. 100 illustrations on 49 plates.
