Prospectus Lacus et Pagi Sinensis. 18e Vue d'Optique representant un Lac et village de la Cochinchine. Paris, chez Daumont rue St Martin, second half of 18th century Contemporary watercolour etching 265x405 mm, margins. Good condition. 18th-century optical view in contemporary coloring depicting a river full of boats and a Cocincina village on the banks.Vues d'optiques, or prints of perspective views, were a fashionable entertainment in the elite salons of the 18th century, but also a popular street entertainment during fairs and markets. By virtue of the fact that people traveled very little, they offered an opportunity for escapism and dreaming with the accentuation of perspective and light effects.
