When drawing exteriors and outdoor subjects, the principlesgoverning the representation of objects and interiors should, withfew exceptions, be applied. If the eye is opposite or very near oneend or side of a large building of which one side only is seen, thisside may be represented by vanishing lines, as in Fig. 42, but neverso as to distort, as Fig. 41 distorts the desk. If the eye is situatedas in Fig. 41, or is near the centre of t
