The Principles Of Architectural Perspective

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Principles of Architectural Perspective The first chapter of the book is devoted to definitions and to the theory of perspective in general. In the second chapter are given ten elementary problems covering all of the descriptive geometry that is needed to completely solve a problem in perspective. All of these elementary problems will be found to depend directly upon the problem of finding the intersection of a right line with a plane. The student is advised to make himself thoroughly familiar with the contents of this chapter before attempt ing the solution of the practical problem which is given in Chapter III.
