Beautifully illustrated
text of geometry and perspective. The delicate etchings represent buildings
and landscapes, as well as surveying instruments and operations, and
prohlems of perspektive. Engraver, geographical engineer, and professor of
perspective at the Academie Royal de Peinture, Le Clerc (1637-1714),
following the lead of Jaques Callot and Stefano della Bella, helped to
create vignette style so popular in the French book of the following
century.
"Unquestionably, Gillot and all the eighteenth-century vignettis owe more to
Le Clerc than has yet been apprieciated. For in Le Clerc's many smaller
illustrations can already be found prefigured the grace and elegance of the
best French rococo."Philip Hofer.
