Hippolyte Arnoux was a photographer active in Egypt and North Africa in the second half of the 19th century. Based in Cairo, he developed a broad catalog of views, monuments and portraits of local “types” distributed to travelers and European collectors. His images, often carefully numbered and captioned in the negative, reflect a structured, commercial production, but also a real sense of composition and light.

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