The practice of perspective, on the principles of Dr. Brook Taylor: in a series of examples, from the most simple and easy, to the most complicated and difficult cases ..
The Practice of Perspective, published in London in 1763 by Joseph Highmore after Brook Taylor's principles, with plates engraved by James Basire, is a teaching manual of step-by-step perspective constructions for students and draughtsmen. Its numbered plates show vanishing-point geometry in line drawings, where a designer can borrow the construction method for laying out floors, grids, and receding objects.
