La nuova pratica di prospettiva : nella quale si spiegano alcune nuove opinioni, e la regola universale di disegnare in qualunque superficie qualsivoglia oggetto
Paolo Amato's Italian treatise on perspective, published in 1736 with plates engraved by Antonino Bova, is a technical manual for students and draughtsmen learning to draw objects on any surface. The pictures are engraved geometric construction plates showing vanishing lines, orthogonals and plan-and-elevation layouts of boxes, arches and a spherical form, which a designer can take as clear examples of how perspective grids are built.
