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).
