Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc.

Twenty-eighth Figure,

John James translation

Preparatory to the following 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

In this Twenty-eighth Figure, which contains the Plan and Geometrical Elevations of the Twenty-ninth Figure, it was requisite to delineate the Side C separately from the Front B; because the Front, which signifies the Breadth of the Building, and the Side, which shews its Length, are not equal one to the other. In the Geometrical Plan the solid Wall is A: the Circles express the Nakeds of the Pillars Shafts at top. The rest is the Projecture of the Cornice, with its Mutules.
