Description

Gibraltar. Prospectus Ponti Gibraltariae. 75e vue d'Optique représentant le Port de Gibraltar.

Prospectus Ponti Gibraltariae. 75e vue d'Optique représentant le Port de Gibraltar. In Paris chez Daumont rue St Martin, second half of the 18th century. Contemporary watercolor etching 405x256 mm, margins. Some slight marginal staining. Good specimen. Animated optical view of the port of Algeciras in the bay of the same name that makes up the Strait of Gibraltar.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.
