Traité de perspective is a 1701 treatise on perspective and the foundations of painting by Bernard Lamy, printed in Paris by Anisson for students of art. Its pictures are geometric line diagrams of planes, vertical screens and lettered points set in ground-plane grids, with the eye shown at a fixed viewing position; a designer could borrow their clean construction logic for technical or schematic layouts.
