Perspectiuische Reiss Kunst

Halt, Peter · 1625 · Betruckht in Augspurg : Durch Dauid Franckhen : In Verlag des Authoren · 48 pictures

Perspectiuische Reiss Kunst is a 1625 treatise on perspective drawing by Peter Halt, printed at Augsburg by David Franck for the author's own publication. Its plates are numbered engravings of solids and geometric constructions, drawn with fine hatching and construction lines. A designer could take from them the clarity of wireframe polyhedra layered over shaded forms, a method for showing volume through overlapping geometry.
