Colour enhanced illustration from Malton's, A Complete Treatise on Perspective, 1776. Thomas Malton (1748-1804) was an English painter of topographical and architectural views. His book was widely used during the 18th century by artists and painters as the basic text on perspective. Malton engraving of a staircase, with open strings and plain balusters typical of the late Georgian style, two landings lit by large Venetian windows and ceilings adorned with panelled plasterwork. The gridlines and vanishing points demonstrate the extent to which proportion governed the design of Georgian interiors, and the way in which size of the elements relate to each other and to the scale of the human figure. | |
