"Etat: A Journey Through Time and Power" Step into the realm of history with "etat, " a word that carries multiple meanings and stories. From the influential figures like Mossadeq, who was hailed as Man of the Year in 1951 by Time magazine, to Mohammad Mosaddegh, whose poster adorned CGT cruises in Paris, Le Havre, and New York - these individuals have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. Alfredo KINDELAN DUANY, a Spanish military figure from the late 19th century to early 20th century also finds his place within this diverse tapestry. Meanwhile, Napoleon's Coup d'Etat of Eighteenth Brumaire is depicted through a British cartoon by James Gillray in 1799 - showcasing how power can be seized and manipulated. The significance of Jerusalem is not forgotten either; its current state captured in engravings depicting both the site de la voie douloureuse (the path of suffering) and Tombeau de la Sainte Vierge (the Tomb of the Virgin Mary) in Josaphat Valley. These images transport us back to ancient times when faith intertwined with politics. But "etat" goes beyond political upheavals; it delves into medical mysteries too. Asphyxiation due to drowning is explored through a color lithograph showcasing lungs affected by submersion - reminding us of life's fragility. Architecture enthusiasts will appreciate glimpses into history such as Palais abbatial's present condition or La Maison Pansa at Pompei in its current state. These engravings offer windows into different eras where structures stood tall against time's relentless march. Lastly, travel enthusiasts are enticed by posters promoting Les Iles de l'Ocean or Chemins de Fer de l'Etat and CGT railway journeys. These advertisements beckon adventurers to explore new horizons and experience the allure of different cultures.
