Produced by Juliet Sutherland, David Wilson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Elements of Perspective" by John Ruskin is a mathematical treatise focused on the principles of perspective drawing, likely written in the mid-19th century. This work is structured for educational purposes, specifically arranged for students of drawing to understand the laws governing perspective, often in conjunction with Euclidean geometry. The text aims to simplify complex concepts of perspective into a format that is more accessible for learners while retaining mathematical accuracy. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the fundamental principles of perspective through practical exercises and visualizations. Ruskin suggests starting the study by observing the world through a window, emphasizing that perspective relies heavily on the fixed position of the observer's eye. He explains crucial concepts such as the significance of maintaining a stable viewpoint while drawing and highlights how distance affects the appearance of objects. The initial section sets the stage for the problems and mathematical constructions that follow, establishing the foundational understanding that students will need to tackle more complex perspective issues later in the text.
