Chereau, rue St. Jacques au dessus de la Fontaine St. Severin aux 2 Colonnes No. 257." Jacques Chéreau (1688 - 1776) was a portrait engraver, printmaker and publisher of optical prints in a neighbourhood of printmakers at the Rue Saint-Jacques variously given on prints as "au Grand St. Remy," "au Coq," or "au dessus de la Fontaine St. Severin", in Paris, France. From about 1740 to about 1820 optical prints, also called "vue optique" or "vue d'optique" prints were made to be viewed through a Zograscope, or other devices of convex lens and mirror, all of which produced optical illusion of depth. Intaglio optical prints have exaggerated converging lines and bright hand-colours which contribute to the illusion of depth. Typically the legends of optical prints have reversed words along the top edge as those would be seen though the scope, but words on the bottom of the prints are normal. Jacques and his brother were considered some of the most prolific publishers of prints in Paris. Subjects include current events, views of the known world, and fantasy compositions. (Wikipedia).…

Original 18th-century optical engraving with period hand coloring, titled at the foot Vüe perspective du Monasterre Royal du Val de Grace du côté du Jardins: the church of the Val-de-Grâce with its great dome and the monastery, seen from the gardens, with religious and strollers among the parterres. Optical views were made to be looked at through the zograscope, a device of lens and mirror that gave a sense of depth: hence the forced perspective, the bright color and the title repeated in reverse along the upper edge, just as it appears on this sheet. It was published by Jacques Chéreau in the rue Saint-Jacques, Paris, with the number 257. Medium: Copper engraving, hand-colored.
