Romulus on his throne
€100,00
An illuminated optical view of Romulus (according to the note on the back) on his throne. Romulus sits in the center of a highly decorated room. Soldiers are arranged on both sides. It looks as is Romulus is settling a dispute between two parties. Beautifully coloured. The outlines and light sources of the buildings and windows are perforated (dots and figures). At the back of the print we see that the holes are covered with see-through paper. Some of the holes are coated with green, red and yellow paint. This gives the illusion of coloured lights when the print is held in front of a light source. Pencil markings and the roman number 31 on the back.
