Mr. Cooke kindly informs me that in an early Greek drawing in the First Vase Room in the British Museum, the eye of a fish is placed in the back part of the mouth. Footnote 274: An example is given by Schoolcraft, _op. cit._, pt. iv., pl. 18. ----- [Illustration: Fig. 43 (_b_).—Two cats.] [Illustration: Fig. 43 (_d_).—A horse.] [Illustration: Fig. 43 (_c_).—A horse.] [Illustration: Fig. 44 (_a_).—A horse.] More remarkable than all, perhaps, we have in one case a clear instance of the scheme of the human face, the features, eyes, nose, and mouth being arranged horizontally to suit the new circumstances (Fig. 44 (_a_)). With this may be compared the accompanying transference of the animal ear to the human figure, though this suggests—especially in view of the pipe—a bit of jocosity on the part of the young draughtsman (Fig. 44 (_b_)). [Illustration: Fig. 44 (_b_).] [Illustration: Fig. 44 (_c_).—A dog.] [Illustration: Fig. 44 (_d_).] [Illustration: Fig. 44 (_e_).—A horse.] The forms of both head and trunk vary greatly. In a few drawings I have found the extreme of abstract treatment in the drawing of the trunk, _viz._, by means of a single line, a device which, so far as I have observed, is only resorted to in the case of the human figure for the neck and the limbs. An example of this was given above in Fig. 1 (p. 334). The following drawing of a dog by a little girl between five and six years old illustrates the same thing (Fig. 44 (_c_)).[275] On the other hand we see sometimes a tendency to give the trunk abnormal thickness, as if the model used had been the wooden toy-horse, as in the accompanying drawing by a boy of five (Fig. 44 (_d_)). Rectilinear instead of rounded forms occur, and the head is often triangular, these rectilinear contours being probably suggested by the teacher in his model schemes (see Fig. 44 (_e_)). ----- Footnote 275: Line drawings of animals as well as of men are found in savage art: see, for example, Schoolcraft, _op. cit._, pt. iv., pl. 18. Mr. Cooke gives examples from drawings of the Trojans. Hence line drawing may, as he infers, be the primitive mode. ----- [Illustration: Fig. 45 (_a_).—A cat. 1 Whiskers; 2 Tail. ] [Illustration: Fig. 45 (_d_).—Some quadruped.] [Illustration: Fig. 45 (_b_).—A bird.] [Illustration: Fig. 45 (_c_).—A quadruped.] [Illustration: Fig. 45 (_e_).—A mouse.]
