TnE Wing. (Plate
55.)
As the small scale of the preceding plates does not admit of
the details of the Wing being fully shown; and as draughtsmen, as
well as modellers, are often called-upon to design winged shapes (be-
sides the Eagle, Angels, Amorini, Genii, Grottesques, the Caduceus of
Mercury, the symbolic Wheel of the railroad, &c,: we have thought it
advisable to add a plate showing the details of the Wings on a
somewhat larger scale. They are taken from nature; but will l-e
found helpful for idealised renderings.
