Antwerp (?): Unknown Publisher, 1835. Hand-colored illuminated vue d'optique. 6 3/4 inches by 8 3/4 inches. Prior to the invention of photography perspective views, called "vues d'optiques" by the French, were a specialized approach to engraving that exhibited a heightened perspective to approximate a 3-dimensional effect. Those precursors to photographic stereoviews frequently were hand-colored. Most of them were designed to be viewed via mirrors in a device like a zograscope.

It is a very attractive view that is in… Read More
