Historical Engraving of Geometric Solids on Architectural Ground

5 October 2017 · Paris

An engraving from a historical geometry treatise, scattered across a hatched architectural setting — sphere, cube, cone, cylinder, and pyramid tumbled together as if mid-demonstration. The cross-hatched ground texture carries as much visual weight as the solids themselves; the illustration was built to teach, and it still does. Drafting precision and observational drawing occupy the same page, each reinforcing the other.
