| Description | Diagrams relating to anamorphosis. This set of diagrams shows the basic principle whereby an original image (called 'archetypus'), in a square that is divided into equal squares, is transferred to the shape below, which has the same number of squares though much more flattened. The transferred image at the bottom will appear correct if an appropriate elongating mirror is used. Diagrams appear below text on the fourth page of the document.
