In 1862, Cadart was, with Auguste Delâtre, founder of the Société des aquafortistes, the first manifestation of a movement for the revival of the original painter's etching, 7 rue de Richelieu. Then, in October 1863, Cadart joined forces with Jules Luquet (born in 1824), owner of the Hôtel de la Grande-Bretagne in Paris and painter. Finally, in 1873, Cadart established itself under its own name, 58 rue Neuve-des-Mathurins. The house continued after 1876 and until 1881 under the direction of Cadart's widow, at 56 boulevard Haussmann.
