Description: Antique optical print titled 'Prospect des Rathhauses in Batavia (..)'. View of the town hall of 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.
