Antique print titled 'Batavia la Ville Capitale des Hollandois'. Large optical print with a view on the harbor of Batavia, Jakarta. This is an optical print, also called 'vue optique' or 'vue d'optique', which were made to be viewed through a Zograscope, or other devices of convex lens and mirrors, all of which produced an optical illusion of depth. Originates from 'Collection des Prospects' by G.B. Probst.
Artists and Engravers: Georg Balthasar Probst (1732, 1801) was a German artist, engraver and publisher in Augsburg.
