Notes:
"[I]llustrated manual on perspective for use of painters, sculptors and architects."--Antiquariaat Forum, bookseller, datasheet
"The present work teaches the art of perspective in 60 lessons, offering gradually increasingly difficult problems as aids to the artist in constructing perspective views. The lessons are clearly illustrated with one plate for each lesson ... [The plates] show perspective views and projections first of geometric figures and solids, then of increasingly elaborate buildings, architectural details and landscapes."--Antiquariaat Forum, bookseller, datasheet
Most of the drawings were etched by Androuet du Cerceau.
Leaves 3-11 printed on both sides.
Some of the woodcut initial designs, and some of the actual blocks, were also used for Androuet du Cerceau's Le premier volume des plus excellents bastiments de France, 1576.
