"Mediterranean Sea - This. No. 10." Port of Cette. 1857 Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884) albumen print from a collodion glass negative 41.2 x 30 cm Condition: some folding and soiling 1 copy at BNF, Paris The railway line from Bordeaux to Sète was inaugurated in its entirety on April 2, 1857. On that day, each of the Pereire brothers took a train, Isaac from Sète and Émile from Bordeaux, both meeting at Toulouse station. Gustave Le Gray was probably commissioned by the newly founded weekly Le Monde illustré to bring back photographs to serve as models for the engravers. On this occasion, Le Gray took several views of the port of Sète (spelled Cette at the time). The photos of Sète date from April or May 1857. The pretty brig (unidentified) in the foreground, which appears to be well lightened, shows off its copper-lined hull. Behind, the Orient. On the left, the Saint-Louis church (1703).
