Das Zeughauss in Stockholm. / L’Arsenal a Stockholm.
Article ID | EUS3887 |
Title | Das Zeughauss in Stockholm. / L’Arsenal a Stockholm. |
View of the Arsenal of Stockholm in a ; view optique;, a zograscope, which is an optical device for enhancing the sense of depth perception from a flat picture. It consists of a large magnifying lens through which the picture is viewed. Some models have the lens mounted on a stand in front of an angled mirror. This allows someone to sit at a table and to look through the lens at the picture flat on the table. Pictures viewed in this way need to be left-right reversed; this is obvious in the case of writing. A print made for this purpose is called a vue d'optique or perspective view. | |
