Excerpt from The Teachers' Companion to the American Drawing-Slates and Cards: No; 1. Free-Hand Drawing; Elementary and Advanced Exercise K. Subject, a vase. It is symmetrical, the two sides being alike seen in perspective, because the circular t0p and other circles on it appear as ellipses. The narrowest part is in the neck; the widest part is in the body about half way down from the t0p. The width of the mouth is rather greater than the width of the base. The outline, or profile, or contour of the vase is a compound curve, the upper part being the shortest and forms the neck, the lower part being a flat curve forms the body of the vase. There is no ornament on the vase, except the circular parallel lines upon it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
