A 1725 Paris treatise on practical perspective by the architect Jean Courtonne, with remarks on architecture and worked perspective views of buildings, aimed at architecture and painting amateurs. Its plates are engraved architectural elevations, plans and perspective drawings of façades, pavilions and garden walls rendered in fine line and light grey wash, showing how a building's projection and receding planes can be constructed on paper for a designer studying spatial layout.
