Antique print titled 'Le Binnen Amstel et la maison des Orphelins de la Diaconie, à Amsterdam'. View of the Amstel and the orphanage in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. 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 1780.
