"Cette" is a word that carries multiple meanings and contexts, as reflected in the diverse range of images and engravings associated with it. From the fragility of a barrier unable to withstand a powerful shock to the philosophical notion that life is but a dream and death its awakening, "cette" encapsulates various aspects of existence. In one engraving, we witness the grand facade of an old theater on Place de la Bourse, initially home to Nouveautes before being occupied by Opera-Comique and later dedicated to Vaudeville. This image speaks volumes about the evolution of art forms throughout history. Another engraving reveals remnants from a twelfth-century house unearthed during excavations for the construction of Pont-au-Double's new abutment. Such discoveries provide glimpses into our past, reminding us of how civilizations have risen and fallen over time. Moving forward in time, we are transported to Cette Harbour in France between 1890-1900 through a vibrant chromolithograph. The bustling port captures moments frozen in time - ships docking, people going about their daily lives - all within this picturesque coastal setting. Underneath an engraving serving as frontispiece for Traite de la peste (Treatise on Plague) from 1721 lies another layer of meaning attached to "cette. " It symbolizes humanity's struggle against devastating diseases throughout history while also highlighting our resilience and determination to overcome such challenges. The Trials of a Jealous Husband lithograph takes us on an emotional journey filled with intrigue and humor as we follow one man's tale during his trip to Paris.
