Description:
Rare C18th vue d’optique of a bridge in Pekin (Beijing).
During the C18th vue d’optique became extremely popular in England and Europe. They capitalised on a market eager for the latest novelty. They were specifically designed to create the illusion of perspective when viewed with a zograscope or perspective glass. These viewing devices used a series of reflecting mirrors to enhance the illusion of depth in the print.
