Pozzo, Andrea, 1642-1709, Boxbarth, Johann, 18th cent, Bodenehr, Georg Conrad, 1663-1710 · 1706 · Augustae Vindelicorum [Augspurg] : Impensis Jeremiae Wolffii · 21 pictures

A 1706 perspective treatise by Andrea Pozzo, with plates added by Johann Boxbarth and Georg Conrad Bodenehr, printed at Augsburg for the trade of painters and architects. The engraved plates show architectural elevations, cornices, and ornamental brackets drawn in careful linear perspective, with many details shown in plan and section. A designer could take from them the orderly construction of classical columns, arches, and scrolled consoles, drawn with clean hairline strokes.
