<p>Diagram 58 illustrates the ‘measure point’ method for drawing a perspective representation of a building. Turner first marked off the measurements of Pulteney Bridge, in Bath, on the horizontal lines across the top of the sheet. Then he constructed a plan in perspective in the upper part of the picture. Below this he completed the finished outline of the building.</p><p><em>Gallery label, September 2004</em></p>
