(Old Prints, 18th Century Prints, Asia, Qing Empire, China, Peking, Beijing, City View, Street Scene).
Issued c. 1760, France by Jacques Chereau.
Mid 18th century vue d'optique with original hand color.
Print presents well, small hole in top center blank margin near small printed text, small a couple old paper repairs on reverse (one to close a tear which is almost invisible to see).
Remains a nice looking example with a pleasing age patina. Any age flaws mostly minor and easy to overlook or forgive.
