AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 20x26 cm.
"Bedouin", a very beautiful portrait from the late 19th century (Algeria), by Jean Geiser.
A very fine vintage albumen print in very good condition, mounted on a cardboard backing.
Excellent preservation of contrasts, gray tones, and levels of detail.
Signed with a blind stamp at the bottom right.
Jean Geiser (1848-1923) is one of the most important photographers of colonial Algeria in the late 19th century. Of Swiss origin, he settled in Algiers around 1873 and founded a photographic studio there that would quickly become one of the most renowned in North Africa. His work is part of the Orientalist photography tradition. He produced thousands of images intended for travelers, settlers, and European collectors: views of cities, landscapes, street scenes, portraits of inhabitants, and studio compositions featuring dancers, musicians, or figures in ‘exotic’ costume.
Will be shipped with its sleeve and its cardboard backing at neutral pH (ideal for a collection in good condition).
