Valton, Edmond-Eugène, 1836-1910 · 1890 · Paris : Ph. Lecluse · 35 pictures

A French drawing manual by Edmond-Eugène Valton, published in Paris by Ph. Lecluse in 1890, teaching students of design and painting how to draw. Its pictures are line drawings of perspective constructions, with horizon lines, vanishing points and orthogonals laid over simple scenes of buildings, trees and roads. A designer can take from them a clear method for placing a horizon and converging lines to build depth in a layout.
