The Geometrical Elevation of the foregoing Plan, and second Preparation to the Seventy-first Figure.

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
