Perspectiva pes picturae is a 1719 German treatise on linear perspective by Johann Jacob Schübler, published in Nürnberg by the art dealer Johann Christoph Weigel for artists and draughtsmen learning to draw architecture in perspective. Its engraved plates show building interiors, stairs, columns and cornices built up from construction lines and vanishing points. A designer can take from them the clarity of the old orthogonal grids and the way shadows and receding planes are set out step by step.
