Concerning word "Cates" on Chosson wrapper, of course it means Cartes /Cards.
But we have to go back to this period of time and assume that French language was not yet fully normalized.
I don't think it is a typo but rather the "local" language for Cards/Cartes at this period.
Words was changing also regarding French regions.
I.e L'estoile for L'Etoile /The Star XVII.
Hello Yves,
Thanks for clearing this up. I'm going to make a notation on my review, since I did M. Chosson a disservice by implying that he was lazy and didn't know how to spell
