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

In hac figurâ, lineam plani coincidere volui cum linea horizontis. Itaque videri non posset vestigium inferius, nisi ut alias deorsum protraxi lineam plani, hic è converso sursum promovissem lineam horizontis, quam constitui mediam inter lineas plani utriusque vestigii, ut ambæ projectiones essent æquè distinctæ. In elevatione, columna secunda, quam, ut dixi, paries abscondit, lineis occultis designanda est.
