Description: Antique print, titled: 'Die innere Aufsicht des Castells in Batavia nebst der Schloss Kirche / Vue interieure de Pallais de Batavie avec l'Eglise du Chateau.' View of the inner courtyard of the castle at Batavia, Indonesia. 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. Source unknown, to be determined.
