AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Circa 1880, 19x26 cm.
"Portefaix", a very beautiful portrait by the Zangaki brothers (19th century).
A very fine albumen print from the period, in very good condition, free (not mounted, rare), and with splendid preservation of contrasts, gray tones, and levels of detail.
Labeled and signed in the negative.

The Zangaki Brothers (Georges and Constantin Zangaki) are photographers of Greek origin active in Egypt in the late 19th century, mainly between the 1870s and 1890s. They worked primarily in the regions of the Suez Canal, the Nile, and major archaeological sites frequented by European travelers. Their work reflects the development of tourism in Egypt after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.

Small PR conservatory, not to be missed.

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