AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Circa 1880, 19x25 cm.
"Alger, rue arabe", a very beautiful portrait of two women and a child in a street of the Casbah of Algiers in the late nineteenth century (Algeria), by Alexandre Leroux.
Albumen print from the period in very good preservation, mounted on a thick paper backing.
Very beautiful preservation of contrasts, gray tones, and levels of detail.
Numbered and handwritten caption in the negative.

Based in Algiers, Alexandre Leroux produced numerous studio photographs and images of local “types,” depicting men and women in traditional costumes in the late nineteenth century. These images, often accompanied by captions such as « Mauresque », « Arabe », « Costume de ville » or « Type d’Algérienne », are numbered and distributed as prints or albums intended for European travelers.
