Ruskin's Rudimentary series, 3rd ed. (1872)
Portions of the Woodcuts by Hans Burgmair , representing the Triumph of Maximilian I . These woodcuts, and the smaller ones in the First Cabinet, are entirely perfect examples of execution with the pure black line, and I have given them in this quantity, that the students may always find one or other to work from. Only small pieces of them are to be attempted, generally at the student's choice. He should begin with any of the shields in R|15 to R|21, and advance to the Burgmair s; but one or other of the single figures, R|26 and R|27, is to be completely drawn eventually by every member of my class. They are to be photographed, in order that every student may have his own, to work from at home. -
