La Perspective Avec La Raison des ombres et miroirs
La Perspective avec la raison des ombres et miroirs is a 1612 treatise on perspective, shadows and mirrors by Salomon de Caus, printed in France for students of drawing and architecture. Its plates are engraved line diagrams of perspective construction, with orthogonals converging across the page, rendered rooms, staircases and classical entablatures, which a designer might take as a model for vanishing-point layouts and stark linear geometry.
