"Frontispiece to Joshua Kirby, Dr Brooke Taylor's Method of Perspective made easy; a rural scene with a number of absurdities caused by perspectival errors, for instance, an angler in the foreground catches a fish in the middle distance, an inn sign is partly obscured by trees that are growing on the other side of a river, a woman leans from a window to light the pipe of a man on a distant hill."--British Museum online catalogue
Alternative Title:
Whoever makes a design without the knowledge of perspective will be liable to such absurdities as are shown in this frontispiece
