Easy-to-follow instructions accompany 288 detailed, accurate illustrations of horses, dogs, cats, lions, cattle, deer, and other creatures. Each animal is depicted in a complete external view as well as in beneath-the-skin drawings of musculature and skeletal structure. Lewis S. Born of the American Museum of Natural History enlarged this classic reference with 25 plates collected from George Stubbs's Anatomy of the Horse, long unavailable; Straus-Durckheim's Anatomie Descriptive et Comparative du Chat; and Cuvier and Laurillard's Anatomie Comparée.

Multiple Anatomical Views: Features external full views and dozens of details (paws, head, eyes, legs, etc.); beneath-the-skin drawings of musculature and the positions and insertions of each muscle; and skeleton drawings of the bone structures that support and determine surface contours and configurations. Detailed Cross-Sections: In addition, special cross-sections dissect portions of the animal — such as the head and limbs — for a complete understanding of animal anatomy. Expanded Content: This reprint of the American Museum of Natural History edition has been enlarged with plates from renowned works, featuring unique animals such as the monkey, the bat, the flying squirrel, the rat kangaroo, the seal, and the hare. Expert Annotations: Provides clear, insightful notes to guide artists through complex details when drawing animal anatomy.
