Perspective is a visual device used to create the illusion of three-dimensional space. How manyu different kinds of perspective are there? Lots.
Here’s one: recession perspective. When a series of similar objects gets smaller in a regular manner, the illusion is created that, instead of a series of smaller and smaller objects, they are instead same-sized objects receding in space.
One could also make the case that your illustration is an example of simple one-point perspective. However, when I see it in black and white, it seems more like an example of an optical illusion or a gestalt principle of perception. Instead of our minds reading the marks as being 2D on a flat surface, our minds organize and perceive them as representing depth or recession. Is that what you’re getting at? I tend to think in one-point, two-point, three-point, aerial and orthogonal perspective myself.

Scott,
By “perspective,” I mean all of the variety of means by which three-dimensional space is established on a flat image. There are a lot more of those than the ones you mention. They can be considered to fall into the realm of optical illusion, but then so does any painting that creates the illusion of dimensionality.
