Proportion and harmony of line and color in painting, sculpture, and architecture;

Raymond, George Lansing, 1839-1929 · 1909 · New York, London, G. P. Putnam's sons · 17 pictures

George Lansing Raymond's 1909 treatise on proportion and harmony in line and colour across painting, sculpture and architecture, published in New York and London by G. P. Putnam's Sons, aimed at students of art and design. Its pictures are fine black line drawings: a Greek temple set inside a sphere of dashed ellipses, an Ionic capital and column shown in elevation, a figure enclosed by overlapping circles, and a frieze of rosettes and reliefs, all useful for thinking about geometric construction.
