The Twelfth Figure.

John James translation

The Corinthian Pedestal, with its Pilasters, 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

For Ornaments sake, we have added to this Corinthian Pedestal the Pilasters, which are usually placed behind Columns: And that they may be the more perspicuous, have left out the Column, not having yet shewn the Manner of putting it in Perspective. The Scheme shews the Measures are taken from Vignola; in which the Geometrical Upright of the Pedestal is A; the Geometrical Plan of the same is B; that of the Pilasters CC. The Plan in Perspective is D, the Elevation in Perspective is E; from which the finish’d Pedestal and Pilasters are drawn by the usual Method.
