About this sheet

Antique print titled 'Vue Persepective du pont et du Port de la Ville de Pekin, Ville de la Chine'. Rare antique print of a bridge in Peking (Beijing), China. This is an optical print, also called 'vue optique' or 'vue d'optique', which were made to be viewed through a Zograscope, or other devices of convex lens and mirrors, all of which produced an optical illusion of depth. Published circa 1780.
