COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL ANATOMICAL DRAWINGS Handmade 1950 ANATOMY Artists BOOK by Female ART STUDENT Oakland California
A unique, comprehensive and beautifully drawn anatomical study book by Louise Fairbanks Williams, a student at the California College of Arts and Crafts, in Oakland, California circa 1950. She received an A+.
An impressive handmade work filled with pencil drawings throughout. Bound in a blue cloth covered top loading three ring binder embossed with the logo of the California School of Arts and Crafts, Oakland on the front cover, 12" x 9", 200 leaves, typescript in red and black ink (mostly printed on one-side), superbly illustrated throughout, with approximately 150 full page original anatomical drawings rendered in pencil and color pencil, many with tissue guards laid-on, and smaller in-text illustrations. Bibliography at the rear. This does not appear to be a copybook but her own interpretation of an anatomical treatise. Original Art Book is in VERY GOOD CONDITION: the title page and blank front endpapers pulled from the binder and laid-on, otherwise tight, bright, clean and unmarked. A wonderful example.
