Perspective as applied to pictures

Some Reviews of this Book
" Makes perspective quite fascinating."
—Aberdeen Jottmal.
" The student very soon finds himself blessing the author, for here are the dreaded complexities of Perspective so simplified that four rules only have become sufficient to give the science its full practical effect of confirming the verity of the artist's vision & saving his picture from any possible error of plan. A truly admirable book, worthy to take its place in this excellent series."
—Bookman's Journal and Print Collector.
" Up to now the majority of art teachers have dulled the enthusiasm of their pupils by presenting a complex array of mathematical calculations & elaborate diagrams. Set down in plain words, & simply but effectively illustrated, the subject can be made quite fascinating, & this Mr. Cole has succeeded in doing in his finely illustrated treatise."

" As a book of reference to the practising artist who wants to solve some particular difficulty, the book could hardly be bettered, for it is so well illustrated that he could find his particular solution almost without reference to the text."—Field.
"To one familiar with- the severely technical matter & diagrams of the orthodox text book this volume will be somewhat of a revelation. There are a very large number of the most ingenious but easily understood diagrams. So simple & complete are these that from a study of the diagrams alone, most that is vital in the subject might be mastered. But it is only on a careful reading of the text that the full value of Mr. Cole's book reveals itself. The student is led in the most interesting & convincing way, step by step, from the very alphabet of the subject to its most advanced technicalities, & to his surprise finds that Perspective no longer has terrors—it has become a fascinating pursuit."—Aberdeen Free Press.
