    Hi all
    I came across this lithography reproduction of an 18th century (1750) engraving depicting the pre -earthquake royal palace of Lisbon.The lithography reproduction itself seems old and is from Maia Portugal as it says "oferta da litografia Maia". However I wanted to know the original 18th century engraver and his original work for comparison but could not find much info. Some blogs even say "unknown" regarding the identity of the artist. But on pin-interest I found a similar image with a certain German engraver by the name "Georg balthasar probst" as its engraver . However I could not find more about the artist and the original engraving. Can anyone shed light?
    I have attached a photo of the lithograph repro I came across. However one can also see better the image in this wikimedia page but am not sure whether it depicts the original engraving with hand coloring or whether it is also another repro.

    Perspective of the water vs land seems to be way off. Is it the angle?
