We therefore draw from the point, which is 264 Perspective 6 feet above B, a slanting line parallel to EB. Thisgives us E and EF, 6 feet high, for in parallel perspectiveB is no further away than F. We now carry this heightof 6 feet forward over the edge of the road by a linefrom We transfer point A to the edge of theroad G, and, finding by a vertical GH, 6 feet, we. Fia. 206—The problem solved. transfer H back over A, which gives the correct heightof the man. Assuming that the smoke is following a level course,It is vanishing on the somewhere on the left. Bycontinuing the dotted lines in the smoke this isfound, and the flag made to vanish there also. Solving Problems 265 Question 12 (June, 1901). Diagram Q. 12 shows in perspeetive a wall and door-way, and at points A and B on (he grovmd-plane verticallines, that at A throwing a shadow AD. The horizon.
