The principles of perspective as applied to model drawing & sketching from nature

Trobridge, George, 1851-1909 · 1890 · London : Cassell · 37 pictures

George Trobridge's 1890 London textbook from Cassell teaches perspective drawing to art students and draughtsmen through numbered plates of geometric solids. The plates show cylinders, prisms and boxes set against horizon lines, with vanishing points and construction lines marked. A designer could take from them a clear method for placing simple forms convincingly in space.
