Antique Print of the Harbour of Batavia by Probst, c.1760

About the Item

Antique print titled 'Batavia la Ville Capitale des Hollandois'. Large optical print with a view on the harbour 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. Condition: Fair, mounted and partly restored. Please study image carefully. Date: c.1760 Overall size: 47 x 34 cm. Image size: 40 x 24.5 cm. Whilst cartography holds a special place in our collection, we also offer thousands of antique prints covering fields of interest as diverse as architecture, natural history, religion, ethnology and many more. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space. We offer a wide range of authentic antique prints for any budget.
