The Fifty-sixth FIGURE.

John James translation

The Perspective Plans and Upright of the Corinthian Design foregoing.

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 this Figure, I have made the Ground-line coincident with that of the Horizon, in which case the lower Plan can’t be seen, unless the Ground-line be sunk lower, as before intimated; or contrariwise, the Point of Sight rais’d higher, as I have here done, keeping it in the midst between the Ground-lines of the two Plans, that the Perspective of both might be equally distinct. In the Elevation, the second Column, which I mention’d to be hidden by the Wall, should be design’d with occult Lines.
