Antique print titled 'Colosse de Rhodes'. A vue d'optique of the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek sun-god Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island of the same name.
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.
Published by Georg Balthasar Probst, circa 1780.
