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

Deserves framing.
Small PR conservatoire, not to be missed.
