Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Modern Perspective: A Treatise Upon the Principles and Practice of Plane and Cylindrical Perspective

A separate chapter discusses certain methods em ployed for limiting the space required for making draw ings in perspective, especially that of the late M. Adhe mar, methods of the greatest value when, as in fresco painting or scene-painting, the picture is large compared with the size of the room in which it is to be made. I have taken the liberty of considerably modifying the details of M. Adhémar's processes, and in an impor tant particular have suggested an alternative procedure, which, if not intrinsically preferable to his own, is at least more in accord with the point of view taken in this work.
