La perspectiue pratique : necessaire a tous peintres, graueurs, sculpteurs, architectes, orfeures, brodeurs, tapissiers, et autres qui se meslent de desseigner
A 1647 Paris treatise on linear perspective by Jean Dubreuil, aimed at painters, engravers, sculptors, architects, goldsmiths, embroiderers and other designers. The plates are numbered geometric diagrams with lettered points, showing buildings, columns and stepped forms built on receding floor grids. A designer could borrow their clean construction lines and grid layouts as a method for sketching depth in architectural or interior compositions.
