John James translation

A Corinthian Design in Perspective.

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

This Plate contains the Perspective of a Corinthian Work, with its Preparations. The Geometrical Plan A shews the Wall wrought hollow behind the Columns. The said Plan in Perspective is D: and leaving out the Geometrical Elevation, the Perspective thereof is describ’d, by transferring the Heights of the former into the Line BC. From the Perspective-Plan and Upright the Design is finish’d after the usual Manner; to which is added the Ornament of a single Statue.
