AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 19x27 cm.
"Le Bey d'Alger", a very beautiful vintage silver print in very good condition, with preserved contrasts, shades of gray, and levels of detail ranging from Very Good to Superb, attributed to A. Leroux.
The appeal of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or stiff cardboard support, which is rare.
It merits framing.
It will be shipped with its neutral-pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition).
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 'Moorish', 'Arab', 'City Costume' or 'Type of Algerian Woman', are numbered and distributed as prints or albums intended for European travelers.
