First an only edition of Planella y Coromina's work on perspective and its application to theater design and settings. It includes chapters on the theory of perspective and the various techniques employed by artists to create a visual representation of three dimensional objects on paper and in theater settings.

It also includes instructions for translating drawings and designs into actual theater settings and props.
The 100 engravings, designed by Planella y Coromina and executed by the firm Mabon y P. Serra of Barcelona, illustrate the text with both conceptual designs and instructional images for the construction of theater settings and backgrounds.
