Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum is a 1758 Roman treatise on linear perspective by the Jesuit painter and architect Andrea Pozzo (1642-1709), published by Salomoni for artists and architecture students. The plates are engraved architectural drawings, with some showing perspective construction lines over colonnades, niches and vaulted interiors. A designer could take their rigorous vanishing-point grids and classical architectural orders as a model for precise, ruled line work.
