A 1644 French treatise on practical perspective, written by Nicolas Baytaz de Doucy and printed at Annecy by André Leyat for curious amateurs and working painters. Its pages are engraved construction diagrams with lettered points, orthogonal lines, and folded page numbers such as P.48 and P.77, showing step-by-step geometric methods for placing objects in space. A designer can take from them the clarity of line-based spatial layout, the use of labelled vanishing points, and the way a complex scene is reduced to simple intersecting guidelines.
