English Translation of this page:
Threatened by comparing the length of a shadow cast with the object that casts it. If, for example, this shadow equals half the height of the object, all the shadows cast in this illustration must equal half the height of the objects casting them. Shadows cast at noon are the shortest, and they are the longest when the sun is at its lowest point and nearest the horizon, at sunrise and sunset. The cast shadows take on the shapes of the objects receiving them.
End of the first and second delivery.
