Leonardo da Vinci's Geometric Sketches.
Da Vinci illustrated Divina proportione, supplying sixty plates for the work.
For the Platonic solids, Da Vinci supplied two views: a plane view and a “vacua” or empty view where he removed the sides to better reveal the complete structure of the polyhedron. These “nets” of vertices and edges illustrate the artist’s graphic genius.
