Vue d'Optique -Buyten Hof, a la Haye, Netherlands c1770. This original hand-coloured engraving is the Vue perspective du Buyten Hof, a la Haye (Hague). Published by Chez Basset, Paris c1770. The image is a mirrored edition of the original drawing by Georg Balthasar Probst. Optical views were very fashionable in the 18th century. They were engravings, mainly on copper plates, made to be seen through an optical box (with the text and image inverted), which consisted of an inclined mirror and a large lens, in order to be able to see the prints. These etchings are now exhibited in museums around the world and are highly valued by collectors and decorators alike for their historical interest and high decorative value.
