Georg Balthasar Probst was the most important memeber of an Augsburg family of artists and publishers.He was the German representative of the "Vue d'Optique" , a genre of copper engravings showing in the size of this here shown print the architectural "wonders of the world" to people mainly during fairs. The prints were pushed into a view box and the viewers, one at a time, could look through a lens to see the prints inserted into the box by the operator, for money, of course. There were French, Italian, Spanish, publishers of Vue d'Optique prints. But the most famous and the most true to facts ones came from the Augsburg workshop of G.B. Probst. He produced ca. 400 of them, not only views of places, but also a variety of other subject matters. While most prints of this genre were loudly and heavily colored, a small series was left black and white, truly showing their artistic value beyond the fulfilment of curiosity at fairs. This is such an example as is the next print down the line. The time od printing was ca 1750.

Basically this print is in very good condition. Some insignificant vertical ripples down the middle are the only drawback worth mentioning. Impression is good, margins are wide and, except for a lttle fraying along the edges, clean.
