Wonderful Perspective Machine

My "Machine" is a combination of two thoughts, OLD and NEW

The "Viewer" is as old as the ancient Greeks - hold at arms length, scan around and pick your composition.

The "Grid" on the blue plastic has 3 lines vertically and 3 lines horizontally - you mark lightly the same lines on your paper or canvas, which has approximately the same proportions.

Now comes its major function. There is a magnetic inner frame with spring steel cross bars that go in any direction you place them - and stay. So all you have to do is line up the bars with your various angles, note where they cross the squares on the "Viewer", then mark the same on your squared-off canvas or paper - how can you miss?

An added touch is the blue tint which neutralizes color, so you may more clearly see the true values - so very important!

Complete with soft case.
