Georg Matthaüs Probst del. et sculp.
Georg Balthasar Probst excud. A.V. [Augsburg, c.1780.]
Coloured engraving. 320 x 410mm (12½ x 16"). Mounted.
A vue d'optique of the siege of Barcelona during the War of the Spanish Succession, based one of the set of six views of the siege by Jacques Rigaud for Belidor's 'La science des ingénieurs dans la conduite des travaux de fortification et d'architecture civile'. This plate shows soldiers entering the city through the three breaches made in the walls my miners. The image has been reversed for viewing through a zograscope, a device of lenses and mirrors designed to give a sense of depth, which transposed the image, resulting in the need for a title in reverse above the print.
