Eugène Michel (XIX/XX) - Aveugle mendiant et sa fille

Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Blind beggar and his daughter", a very beautiful portrait by Eugène Michel (late 19th/early 20th century).
Superb vintage silver print from the period in very good condition, free (not mounted, rare), and with very beautiful preservation of contrasts, gray tones and levels of detail.

Eugène Michel was active in North Africa at the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century, where he worked as both photographer and publisher. His photographs blend urban views, landscapes and portraits referred to as “types”, with particular attention to light contrasts and architectural textures. At the crossroads of documentary work and commercial publishing, his work contributes to the construction of a visual imagination of the Maghreb for a European audience.

Deserves framing.
Small archival mount (conservatoire), not to be missed.

Will be shipped with its sleeve and neutral-pH cardboard backing (ideal for a collection in good condition).
