Antique print titled 'Vue des Ruines du Temple de Jupiter Tonnant, a Rome'. Original antique optical print of the ruins of the Temple of Jupiter Tonans in Rome, Italy. 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 circa 1770 by or after Berthault.
