These optical views were created and diffused mainly in the second half of the 18th century.

The artwork was printed by  Daumont , a well-known publisher of optical prints, established in Paris. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there were many popular specialty establishments in Paris, Augsburg, and London that produced optical viewing devices and special engravings to be viewed through them. They are usually etched and invariably designed to be seen through a viewing machine, with consequent reversals of text and image. They often show monumental buildings (palaces, churches or town halls) or characteristic parts of towns. More rarely, they show portraits, moralistic and biblical themes, or historical events.

This print represents a view of  Château de Choisy, a royal French residence in the commune of Choisy-le-Roi in the Val-de-Marne, not far from Paris. The commune was given its current name by Louis XV. In the scene, some men of the court are in the gardens of the splendid castle as they walk and converse amiably.
