Perspective view of the famous building of the Samaritan in Paris by Basset, a well-known publisher of optical prints, established in rue S. Jacques in Paris. With brief key list.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries there were many popular speciality establishments in Paris, Augsburg and London which produced optical viewing devices and special engravings to be viewed through them. In the 18th century the optical print or vue optique came into existence, whose exaggerated converging lines were intended to produce the optical illusion of deep recession. The viewing devices for which these perspective prints were produced consisted of a lens and a mirror, this requiring the use of reversed or mirror-image pictures.

Description fr: Vue d'optique représentant la Samaritaine et le pont Neuf à Paris. La Samaritaine était le nom d'une pompe à eau, rénovée au XVIIIe siècle sur le pont Neuf mais remontant à Henri III. Cette pompe était décorée d'une représentation de l’épisode de la rencontre entre Jésus et la Samaritaine au Puits de Jacob (relaté dans l’Évangile selon Jean) et surmontée d'une horloge munie d'un carillon. Ernest Cognacq aurait installé sa première échoppe dans la corbeille du pont Neuf à l'emplacement même de l'ancienne pompe.

Les vues d’optique sont des gravures destinées à être observées par l'intermédiaire d'un appareil spécifique appelé zograscope pour leur donner une illusion de relief et de perspective.
