Antique print titled 'Prospect von der Bastion Perl (..), Vue de la Bastion Perl (..)'. View of the Parel Bastion (Pearl Bastion) of Castle Batavia, present day Jakarta, Indonesia. Beautiful 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. Published by Francois Xavier Habermann, circa 1770.
