Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. First Edition. A book on drawing that teaches artists the principles of perspective, which are used to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. The book covers how to render objects as they appear to recede into the distance, likely detailing one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective systems. The core of linear perspective involves understanding how parallel lines converge at vanishing points on a horizon line. Dust jacket has tears, pieces missing at edges and tape marks. 91 pages.
