La perspective practiqve : necessaire a tovs peintres, gravevrs, scvlptevrs, architectes, orfevres, brodevrs, tapissiers, & autres se seruans du dessein
A 1642 Paris perspective treatise by Jean Dubreuil, published by Melchior Tavernier and François l'Anglois, written as a practical manual for painters, engravers, sculptors, architects, goldsmiths, embroiderers and upholsterers. Its plates are numbered engraved diagrams built from orthogonal lines, vanishing points and lettered construction points. A designer can take from them the clean geometric logic of one-point and two-point perspective, shown as stepped plinths, tiled interiors and receding corridors.
