Vue d'optique of a Chinese temple prepared for annual sacrifice held in honour of deceased ancestors, whose portraits are displayed around the temple. The custom was documented by European travellers such as Bernard Picart, William Hurd and Charles August Goodrich. Vues d’optique are hand-colored etchings and engravings intended to be viewed through a convex lens. The devices, known variously as zograscopes, optiques, optical machines and peepshows, were an optical entertainment of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Vues d’optiques were rendered in high-key colour and dramatic linear perspective, which enhanced the illusion of three-dimensionality when viewed through the lens.
