179040681Paris: Chez Daumont et Lachaussée 1790. Fine. Chez Daumont et Lachaussée Paris circa 1790 46 x 33.50 cm une feuille Original engraving. Optical view heightened in watercolor depicting a view of Saint Peter's in Rome. Optical views also called views perspectives or ""mondo nuovo"" are engravings very fashionable between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. They were intended to be observed through a set of several mirrors or by means of a Zygrascope an instrument consisting of a mirror and a lens. Optical views can be considered as the precursors of three-dimensional images and stereoscopes which enjoyed great success from the 19th century onwards. Optical views seem to appear in the 1740s and were drawing room entertainments. The process was first developed in Paris then London and finally in Germany and was dedicated to representing - in an idealized manner - the most famous panoramas and landscapes of the Orient and the West. Fine impression with very fresh colors. Chez Daumont et Lachaussée unknown
