Traité de perspective simplifiée linéaire

Jarry de Mancy, Adèle, 1794-1854, Hocquart, E. (Édouard), 1789- · 1832 · Paris : Chez l'auteur ... [et al.] · 5 pictures

A French treatise on linear perspective published in Paris in 1832 by Jarry de Mancy with E. Hocquart, written as a teaching manual for draughtsmen and students of drawing. Its plates are engraved line diagrams that build perspective views of prisms, cylinders, cones, and a column from ground lines, horizon lines, and vanishing points. A designer can take from them a clear method for constructing depth in simple geometric forms, with dashed projection lines and labelled corners that read like a construction sheet.
