An introduction to perspective, drawing, and painting in a series of pleasing and familiar dialogues between the author's children : illustrated by appropriate plates and diagrams, and a sufficiency of practical geometry : and a compendium of genuine instruction ...
An 1815 London instruction book on perspective, drawing and painting by Charles Hayter, written as dialogues between the author's children and aimed at learners at home. Its plates show perspective construction diagrams, a chequered floor receding to a vanishing point, a figure with a drawing board, and geometric shape studies, which a designer could use for grid-based layout and vanishing-point compositions.
