Ghent Belgium St Michel a Gand 1780 old Vue d'Optique hand color city view print Hainaut Lindenberg

Lindenberg

Normal minor age wrinkling to hand-made paper surface as always for individual sheets of paper now made almost 500 years ago

Condition: BLank margins toned & foxed

The visual presentation is quite unique to this era and unlike a modern conception

we'd surmise that it could take quite some time and effort for a collector to find an older image of a seashell

Ghent Belgium St Michel a Gand 1780 old Vue d'Optique hand color city view print Hainaut LindenbergVue de St. Michel a Gand (Ghent, Belgium city view) Issued ca. 1770 90, Europe Fine and uncommon antique "vue d'optique" print, with lovely original hand color. Image displays very well, some light minor old browning at left middle side, sheet affixed long ago to a hand made paper cardboard backing (possibly original to the view given how the toning to the cardboard matches the toning to the print paper on the back). A picture is worth a thousand
