Paris, 1800. 29.0 x 42.8 cm. Espectacular grabado. In original colours.So-called optical print, margins cut off. Showing the interior of a Chinese temple. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries there were many popular speciality establishments in Paris, Augsburg and London which produced optical viewing devices and special engravings to be viewed through them. In the 18th century, a type of "perspective" print came into existence, whose exaggerated converging lines were intended to produce the optical illusion of deep recession without the benefit of lenses and mirrors.
