Publisher's Synopsis
""A Guide to Pictorial Perspective: With Numerous Illustrations"" is a book written by Benjamin Richard Green and originally published in 1851. The book is a comprehensive guide to understanding and creating pictorial perspective, which is the technique of representing three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of perspective drawing. The first chapter introduces the basic principles of perspective, including the use of vanishing points, horizon lines, and eye level. Subsequent chapters build on this foundation, exploring topics such as foreshortening, aerial perspective, and the use of shadows and reflections.Throughout the book, Green provides numerous illustrations to help readers understand the concepts he is explaining. These illustrations include both diagrams and examples of perspective drawings, which demonstrate how the principles of perspective can be applied in practice. Overall, ""A Guide to Pictorial Perspective"" is a valuable resource for artists, designers, and anyone interested in learning how to create realistic and convincing drawings. Its clear explanations and helpful illustrations make it accessible to readers of all skill levels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
