1762WRCAM46155Paris 1762. Two volumes. 62; 61 leaves each with a mounted plate. Images vary in size either 11 x 16 inches or 8 x 12 inches. Oblong folio. 19th-century gilt cloth rebacked in red morocco. Corners repaired. Wear and soiling to boards. Internally clean colors bright and fresh. Very good. Two large albums containing 123 brightly colored VUES D'OPTIQUE depicting scenes from Paris Rome London and many other locations in Europe. Lettering is typically printed at the top and bottom of the plate primarily in French with the letters at the top reading backwards. The letters above the text were deliberately reversed since these prints were designed for viewing in optical machines with a magnifying glass and a reflective mirror which gave the viewer an illusion of depth and reversed the image. The views are mostly of France including many scenes from Versailles and the ports of the realm. There are likewise a significant number of views of important landmarks around Rome. Other views depict notable locations in the Netherlands Denmark Germany Spain Poland and London. A handful of the plates show more unusual locales such as Mexico City Siberia St. Petersburg Peking Cayenne and French Guiana. Altogether an impressive collection of these handsome engravings. hardcover books

Bladon" 1766 with a cancel title page and an additional dedication to David Garrick.<br /><br />John Northall 1723-1759 army officer and travel writer "entered the service as a gentleman cadet in the Royal Regiment of Artillery on 1 July 1741 and was promoted to lieutenant fireworker on 1 April 1742. He served under Thomas Pattison with the Royal Artillery in Flanders in 1742 and was promoted second lieutenant on 1 April 1744. He was at the battle of Fontenoy on 11 May 1745 and became first lieutenant on 3 October 1745 captain-lieutenant on 24 March 1752 and captain on 1 October 1755. In February 1752 he went to Minorca and thence to Livorno. He was recorded in Capua on 1 April 1752. Instead of making the usual tour of Italy he visited the principal cities of Tuscany and after a cursory visit to Rome went to Naples. Then after a more lengthened stay in Rome he went to Loreto Bologna Venice Mantua Parma Modena and returned to Livorno whence he sailed for Genoa. From Genoa he went by sea to Villafranca and on by land to Marseilles. He died in 1759. An account of his Italian tour was published posthumously in July 1766 Travels through Italy; Containing New and Curious Observations on that Country but the work has been criticized as following closely J.
