A view d'optique of the Collège des Quatres Nations (now the Institut de France) in Paris. 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 color and dramatic linear perspective, which enhanced the illusion of three-dimensionality when viewed through the lens.

Engraved map. 450 x 550mm, 17½ x 21¾" Tear in large margin, some surface soiling.
Map of the environs of the ancient Gallic town of Lutece, which developed into the French capital Paris. The map shows the settlement as being entirely on the Île de la Cité, a long-held theory that is now being called into question, as archeological finds show as large pre-Roman settlement in the suburb of Nanterre. On the mainland, south of Lutece, are two temples, dedicated to Isis and Mercury: it is said that 'Paris' is derived from 'Per Isis' (i.e. near the temple of Isis). The church of Saint-Sulpice was built on the site in 1646.

Lithograph with fine hand-colouring, very scarce; sheet 420 x 265mm (16½ x 10½"). Slight marks lower right off subject.
The tombs of the fabulist Jean de La Fontaine (1621-95), playwright Molière (1622-73) and poet Jacques Delille (1738-1813) at Père Lachaise Cemetery in the suburbs of Paris. When the cemetery opened in 1804 it was located far from the centre of the city and attracted few funerals. The transfer of the remains of La Fontaine and Molière were part of a strategy to raise the profile of the cemetery. Plate from 'Picturesque Views of the Principal Monuments in the Cemetery of Père La Chaise, near Paris', which comprised of ten coloured lithographs by John Thomas Serres (1759-1825). Serres, who like his father Dominic specialized in marine painting, was also a skilled printmaker although his later years were dogged by financial difficulties. Serres died in the same year that this volume was published.
