AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
"Arab, portrait", a very beautiful vintage albumen print in very good condition with preserved contrasts, grey nuances, and levels of detail ranging from TTB to Superb, by Jean Garrigues.
The appeal of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or a stiff backing, which is rare.
Labeled and signed at the bottom of the print, in the negative.
Deserves framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good conditions).
Jean Garrigues was active in Tunisia at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, in a context of photographic growth linked to the protectorate and the development of tourism. A photographer and publisher, he produced urban views, scenes of daily life and portraits distributed as prints and postcards.
His work is characterized by a clear light and a straightforward composition, attentive to architecture, markets, and local figures, through a production that is both documentary and commercial.
