AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Circa 1900, 28x23cm.
"Villageoises de Biskra", very beautiful group portrait from the end of the nineteenth century (Algeria), attributed to E. Frechon.
Very beautiful large-format silver print from the era in very good condition, mounted on a cardboard backing.
Very nice preservation of contrasts, gray nuances and levels of detail.

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

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