Capitella Corinthia horizontaliter contracta.

Illustration from Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc. In English and Latin: Containing a most easie and expeditious method to delineate in perspective all designs relating to architecture

Habes in hac paginâ deformationes vestigii & elevationis capitelli Corinthii, quas desumpsimus ex delineationibus geometricis, transferendo mensuras earum in lineas plani AB, & elevationis AC, ita ut facillimè dignosci possit unde nascantur singulæ partes capitellorum nitidorum. Nihil dubito quin deformationes horizontales sis experturus faciliores verticalibus quas dedimus figurâ vigesimaquartâ. Nam in horizontalibus gyrus foliorum circulis clauditur, quorum centra mutuantur latitudines à suis vestigiis in punctis 1, 2, 3, 4; altitudines verò à capitellis elevationis in punctis 5, 6, 7, 8.
