Leonardo, da Vinci, 1452-1519 · 1651 · Parigi, Appresso Giacomo Langlois · 35 pictures

A 1651 Italian edition printed in Paris by Giacomo Langlois, gathering Leonardo da Vinci's treatise on painting with Alberti's writings on painting and sculpture, for artists and students of perspective. The pictures are small copperplate-style diagrams of geometric construction: lettered points joined by lines, concentric circles, and perspective grids with receding arcs. A designer could draw on their clean, schematic linework and labelled diagram layouts for technical or instructional graphics.
