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. £145 inc delivery close
