About the Item

Title: Hand-Colored Optical Print of Delft Canal, The Hague by Jean-François Daumont, ca. 1770 This hand-colored optical view, titled "Vue Perspective du Canal de Delft à la Haye Ville de Hollande," was created in the 18th century and published by Jean-François Daumont in Paris around 1770. The engraving features a picturesque view of the Delft canal in The Hague, bustling with townsfolk, horse-drawn carriages, and boats along the water. The colorful rooftops and vivid architecture give a charming depiction of Dutch life. Designed to be used with optical devices like Zograscopes, these "vue d’optique" prints were popular during the 18th century for providing a sense of depth and immersion in foreign or exotic views. The hand-coloring was applied using watercolors, enhancing the appeal of the print by emphasizing architectural and environmental details. The print captures an everyday moment in the Netherlands, reflecting the activity of people as they traverse streets, operate boats, and move about their surroundings. The engraving’s hand-colored elements and use of perspective create an idyllic representation of The Hague, appealing to viewers of the period. Condition report: Slight toning, some marginal wear, light foxing visible. Overall, in good condition with age-appropriate signs of wear.
