Vue d'optique - Vue perspective de la Revue de la Maison du Roy.
Chez Daumont et Lachaussée|Paris [circa 1790]|46 x 33.50 cm|une feuille
Original engraving. Optical view heightened in watercolour, depicting a view of the review of the King's Household, "infantry which takes place every year in the plain of Sablons one league from Paris".

SO SHISEKI
So shiseki gafu
Suhara Yashiroemon|Edo [Tokyo] 1765|16 x 26.50 cm|cousu
Collection of drawings by So Shiseki. The date 1765 is the only date found in the collection, but it is not impossible that the work is a 19th-century reprint, as Japan had a very different concept from ours concerning authenticity and originality, including ancient temples that were rebuilt identically once they became dilapidated. The Waseda Library, the most important in Japan, possesses a copy with the same characteristics. However, bookmaking techniques in Japan were not different in the 18th and 19th centuries; there was no break, and this view is Western. 31 prints including 12 double-page.
