Synopsis of practical perspective, lineal and aerial, with remarks on sketching from nature, &c. &c.
Synopsis of Practical Perspective is a London treatise of 1843 by the drawing master Theodore Henry Fielding, published by Ackermann for students learning linear and aerial perspective and sketching from nature. Its numbered plates are geometric constructions: cylinders, cones, arches and tilted boxes drawn with horizon lines, vanishing points and projection rays. A designer can take from them the clean ruled-diagram method of showing solids in space, with construction lines kept visible as part of the image.
