About the Item

Antique print titled 'Phare de l'Egypte'. A vue d'optique of the lighthouse of Alexandria. Also called Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and the most famous lighthouse in antiquity. It was a technological triumph and is the archetype of all lighthouses since. This is an optical print, also called 'vue optique' or 'vue d'optique', which were made to be viewed through a Zograscope, or other devices of convex lens and mirrors, all of which produced an optical illusion of depth. Published by Georg Balthasar Probst, circa 1780.
