Human Anatomy For Artists by Dr Fau

Many years ago I purchased this book, printed by Dover, that came with a CDRom. It was purchased so long ago that gluing a CD to a book seemed sensible whereas now I would have no idea how to make use of such a relic. To my surprise this book, Human Anatomy For Artists, A NEW EDITION OF THE 1849 CLASSIC by DR. J. FAU,  has not been widely made available online so I present to you here some of the images that I found online after much searching. I find that especially the overlay of the skeleton atop the figure to be a very helpful visualization of the interaction of the inner and outer structure of the figure.
