Description
[LISBON] – View of the mouth of the Tagus and the port of Lisbon. No place, no publisher, c. 1750; 340/490 mm, single sheet, coloured in the period and mounted on a passe-partout. Perspective view of Lisbon. These perspective views are coloured engravings, generally produced between 1740 and 1820, with sizes ranging from small folio to large folio. In all cases, these ‘optique’ views depict the most popular tourist spots in European cities and are animated (featuring figures and carriages in the foreground). Numerous publishers competed to sell these views, which were very much in vogue at the time; these engravings were designed to be projected onto walls using a light-projecting device that employed mirrors and lenses.
