La perspective pratiqve : necessaire a tovs peintres, graveurs, architectes, brodeurs, scvlpteurs, orfevres, tapissiers, et autres qui se meslent de desseigner
A 1663 Paris treatise on perspective by Jean Dubreuil, written for painters, engravers, architects, embroiderers, sculptors, goldsmiths and tapestry makers as a practical manual. The plates are black-and-white line engravings of geometric construction, showing cubes, cylinders, tiled floors and walls set out with vanishing points and orthogonals. A designer can take from them the clean method of building depth through converging guidelines, shadow hatching and grid floors, useful for layout and drawn space.
