Perspective rectified, a London treatise of 1836 by Arthur Parsey, published by Longman and partners for students and practitioners of drawing. Its plates are engraved geometric diagrams of vanishing points, horizon lines, and projected solids such as cones, cylinders, and pyramids, with lettered construction lines. A designer could draw on them as clean, schematic guides for building depth in a flat layout or a grid-based composition.
