About this sheet

Antique print, titled: 'Vue de l'Est du Pont et Nouvel-Arsenal de Kingiston sur l'Hull.' - View of the New Bridge and arsenal of Kingston, Hull, Yorkshire, Great Britain. 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 by Georg Balthasar Probst (1732 - 1801) who was a German artist, engraver and publisher in Augsburg, a major European publishing center in the 17th and 18th centuries. He produced architectural views of places around the world, including vues d'optique, which were published in various places during the last half of the 18th century, including Paris, Augsburg and London.

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'B. F. Leizel' after 'Georg Balthasar Probst'.
