La perspective, contenant tant la theorie que la practique et instruction fondamentale d'icelle : remise en volume plus commode qu'auparavant : avec un grand nombre de figures en taille douce, pour tant mieux faciliter et amplifier tout ce qui est de requis en ceste science
Samuel Marolois's La perspective, published in Amsterdam in 1638 by Ian Iansson, is a seventeenth-century treatise on perspective theory and practice, written in French for students and practitioners of the science. Its numbered copperplate pages show geometric constructions of planes, solids, and sightlines drawn with fine engraved lines and dashed projection guides, which a designer might borrow as clean diagrammatic layouts for technical plates or spatial-logic illustrations.
