Antique print titled 'Vue de l'Hotel du Lord Maire, qui comprend la Facade, et le Cote Occidental de Londres'. View of the famous Lord Mayor's coach driving through London. The Lord Mayor's coach is famous for its role in the Lord Mayor's Show, which is one of the longest established annual events in London, dating back to 1535. 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.
