About the Item
Title: Hand-Colored Optical View of Delft Canal, The Hague by G.J. Probst, 1781
This optical print, titled "Vue du Canal de Delft a la Haye Ville de Hollande," was created by G.J. Probst and published in 1781. The print was distributed in both London by Wichnyyher and in Paris by Basset. It shows a view along the Delft canal in The Hague, with townspeople going about their daily activities. The engraving portrays people on foot, in carriages, and boats, providing a lively view of 18th-century Dutch life.
"Vue d’optique" prints like this one were meant to be viewed with devices like Zograscopes, which gave the scene an enhanced perspective effect. The combination of etching and engraving captures fine details, while the hand coloring adds charm and liveliness, drawing attention to the architecture and daily scenes of the era.
The inclusion of publishing information like "according to the Acts of Parliament 1766" indicates the regulation of such prints, showing their importance as cultural and visual records.
