'Perspective on the Palace Square'.
The image in the engraving is largely based on the artist’s imagination and his idea of the architecture of St. Petersburg and does not reflect the historical appearance of the buildings of that time.
Perspective views (French: Vue d'optique) were intended to be viewed through a zograscope and were popular in the late 18th - early 19th centuries.
