Description
A delightful "vue d'optique" copy of Montanus' magnificent print of Havana harbor, with a magnificent galleon in the foreground and a chain shutting off the harbor. The very popular, but naively colored vues d'optiques were meant to be viewed in a special mirrored view box with a light source behind the print. The author of this particular print had a shaky command of English, as his translation of the French title indicates: "A View General of the City de Havanne of Amerique."
