Vue de la Haute ville a Quebec..

There is a beautiful view of the square on the road to the Millbarracks in Quebec with soldiers in the foreground. Engraved for a Vue d'Optique, it was designed to be viewed in a special apparatus that gave the scene a strong 3-D impression. The title at the top is engraved in reverse.
These views are some of the most distinctive and interesting images of the eighteenth century. Their distinctive engraving style, striking perspective, and bright original color make them visually delightful as historically fascinating.
