About the Item

Title: Hand-Colored Optical View of Grand Bierkade, The Hague by Jacques Chereau, ca. 1750 This optical print titled "Vue perspective du Grand Bierkade à la Haye" depicts the Grand Bierkade in The Hague, published by Jacques Chereau in Paris around 1750. It shows a picturesque view of the canal, with a drawbridge in the foreground, horse-drawn carriages, and people strolling along the waterside, giving a sense of the everyday life of the Dutch city. Boats are seen on the canal, and the trees lining the street add charm to the tranquil scene. Optical views, or "vues d’optique," were designed to be viewed through a perspective glass, enhancing the depth effect. These prints were popular in the 18th century, providing audiences with an immersive experience of foreign cityscapes. The hand-colored etching features intricate line work and vibrant colors, emphasizing both the architectural and natural elements of the scene. The perspective emphasizes the bustling yet serene nature of the canal, making it an engaging depiction of 18th-century The Hague. Condition report: Slight creases and stains along the edges, some toning visible. Overall well-preserved, with age-consistent wear and intact coloring.
