  This paper presents a historical perspective analysis of the H. B. Lübsen Compendium of Elemental Geometry translated from German to Portuguese by Carlos Jansen, professor at the Imperial Collegio D. Pedro II, in 1902. It is based on the theoretical framework of cultural history, studies on the history of textbooks and the history of mathematics education. The study characterizes the context of its circulation as a textbook, the aspects related to its materiality and the methodology adopted by its author related to the teaching of geometry. It observes that this book circulated in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Maranhão. The contents are presented by definitions, problems and theorems that value the theoretical and algebraic aspects as a means of abbreviating the geometric demonstrations. The book is still called practical, by applying the concepts in solving questions related to the calculation of distances, volumes and leveling.
