Cours elementaire de perspective a l'usage des dames : avec des figures et dessins lithographies
An elementary French perspective course printed in Paris in 1823 by Charles-François Farcy, with lithographs by Langlume, written for women learning to draw. The plates are geometric construction diagrams showing vanishing lines, horizon lines and shadows cast on blocks, cubes, arches and a checkerboard floor. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic logic of one-point and two-point perspective used as a framework for layout and spatial composition.
