Descrizione
Optica-print view of Mecca on laid paper (32 x 46 cm), with some parts highlighted in contemporary hand colour. An imaginary view of the port of Mecca, showing the supposed harbour connected to the Red Sea, published by Louis Mondhare, a well-known publisher of so-called optica prints. The print, meant for viewing through a "zograscope" - a viewer with a large lens and mirror giving an illusion of depth - emphasizes perspective and shows the straight lines characteristic of optica prints. In good condition, crudely hand-coloured.
