Excerpt from The Principles of Practical Perspective, or Scenographic Projection: Containing Universal Rules for Delineating Designs on Various Surfaces, and Taking Views From Nature, by the Most Simple and Expeditious Methods To enter into any laboured encomiums on the importance of Perspective, and the use of painting, would be needless. The absolute necessity of an intimate acquaintance with its principles and its practice, in order to arrive at excellence, or even mediocrity in the imitative arts, is now universally felt and acknowledged. A practical treatise on Perspective and Painting needs, therefore, no apology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Richard Brown (fl. 1804-1845), English architect, designer and drawingmaster. He appears to have had strong connections during his early life with South Devon: his earliest known design, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1804, was of a Villa with a Distant View of the Catwater, Plymouth, and other designs (1807-12) also relate to this county. However, Brown may have been living in London during this period as he ran an architectural academy at 4 Wells Street. There the importance of perspective drawing was taught, and in 1815 he published the Principles of Practical Perspective. He also became increasingly interested in furniture design, and in the need for designers in this discipline to master the art of perspective. The book is dedicated to John Soane, and Brown was also a friend of his draughtsman, Joseph Gandy, of whose working method some details are provided in Chapters 43 & 44.
