Émile Frechon (1848–1921) was a French photographer active in North Africa, notably in Biskra.
He is distinguished by his scenes of daily life and his portraits, blending documentary gaze and aesthetic sense.
Close to pictorialism, he works light and composition with great finesse.
His body of work moves away from simple exotism to lean toward a more human and nuanced vision.

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