The Nine and thirtieth Figure.

John James translation

A Piece of Dorick Architecture 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

In this Plate you have a Dorick Composition, with the additional Ornament of a single Statue; but I would advise, when you undertake to work after any of these Designs, you would at least place the Points of Sight and Distance somewhat differing from those here given; which Practice will both greatly further your Progress in this Art, and prevent any Inconvenience, that may arise from a Mistake of the Engraver.
