AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 18x26 cm.
"Arab spinners, Egypt", a very fine period albumen print, in very good condition, with preserved contrasts, gray tones, and levels of detail ranging from Very Good to Superb, by Pascal Sebah.
The interest of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or stiff backing, which is rare.
Labeled and signed at the bottom of the print, in the negative.
A rare, unposed subject in its setting.
Deserves framing (edge wear with sepia toning as often happens).
Will be shipped with its neutral-pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition).
Pascal (P.) Sebah is one of the great photographers active in Constantinople in the second half of the 19th century. His studio, located in the heart of the city, quickly became a reference for travelers and diplomats seeking images of the Ottoman Empire and Egypt.
Sebah produced portraits, genre scenes, and monumental views with great technical mastery and carefully staged presentation.
