About this sheet

Antique print titled 'Prospect von der Bastion Gelderland (..) - Vue de la Bastion de Gelderland (..)'. View of the Portuguese non-denominational church and environs as seen from Bastion Gelderland near Batavia, Indonesia. Beautiful 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 Francois Xavier Habermann, circa 1770.
