Leonhard Zubler was a goldsmith and mathematician in Zurich, who closely examined the central perspective and constructed corresponding instruments, some of which were the forerunners of Bramer's measuring instruments. The full-page plate shows all the details of the measuring instrument, while the other illustrations shows measuring processes.
