engraved additional pictorial title (bound at end with plates) and 95 plates, a few folding, occasional spotting, modern tan pigskin, Augsburg, heirs of Jeremiah Wolff, 1727. *** A scarce copy of 'one of the most beautiful comprehensive "monumental" treatises written in the eighteenth century' (Descargues, Perspective). Plates depict painted trompe-l'oeil ceilings, staircases, church interiors and palaces. Heineken focuses much on light and shade, with certain figures in plates holding candles to demonstrate this. Provenance: The Arnaud de Vitry copy (sold Sotheby's 11th April, 2002, lot 445).
