Cours de perspective : appliquée a la peinture

Bossuet, François Antoine, 1798-1889 · 1833 · Bruxelles : Chez l'auteur · 34 pictures

A perspective treatise by François Antoine Bossuet, published privately in Brussels in 1833 for painters and students learning linear perspective. Its plates are engraved line diagrams of vanishing-point constructions, arched and curved architectural elevations, and stage or theatre plans, with lettered reference points and ruled guidelines. A designer could draw on them for geometric construction grids, orthographic and perspective studies, and the clean technical line of early nineteenth-century instructional plates.
