Figure 6 Open a box and the Hnes of the lid converge aboveand below the horizon line. We have four vanishing 39 points in this drawing, two on the horizon and twooutside the picture. (See Fig 6.) Drawing circles in perspective is on the sameprinciple. See Fig. 7. First draw a square, in per-spective, and then an oval inside it. This will be thecircle in perspective. Herein lie the elementary principles of perspec-tive, and when they are understood will answer everyrequirement of the beginner. The architecturaldraughtsman applies these same principles in theconstruction of a drawing of a building from plansand elevations, not only so that it appears realistic,but the original measurements can be resolved againby reversing the calculation.
