Optical view with ships. Engraved by the French engraver
Paul Angier after a design by P.Brookes and published by
Robert Sayer of London, who was a well-known publisher of
optical prints, established in London. In the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries there were many popular specialty
establishments in Paris, Augsburg and London which
produced optical viewing devices and special engravings to
be viewed through them. In the 18th century the optical
print or vue optique came into existence, whose
exaggerated converging lines were intended to produce the
optical illusion of deep recession. The viewing devices
for which these perspective prints were produced consisted
of a lens and a mirror, this requiring the use of reversed
or mirror-image pictures.. Stains and defects on the
sheet, zero and trimmed margins on all sides luckily
lettering intact . Will mount well but a rare image that
