This famous book by a classical German sculptor (the figures on the Brandenburg Gate - among many other works) is next to impossible to find. It is based on the pioneering work by Greek Sculptor Polycletus. This is an 1883 translation of the German Atlas Zu Polyclet Oder Von Den Maassen Des Menschen Nach Dem Geschlechte Und Alter

The book is 12 1/2 by 19 3/4 inches and each plate is a seamless double page tipped in. The only way to turn it into an e-book was to photograph the double wide pages to show them fully, then to scan details.
