"Give to see" as Paul Eluard made up the collection published in 1939. There are texts already published at the time, others that were unpublished, the unity of the collection being that Eluard gathered there most of his writings devoted to poetry and painting. For a more precise study of the composition of "Donner à voir", please refer to the edition of Paul Eluard's "Complete Works" in the Library of the Pleiade, Volume I, 1968.
