AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 19x26 cm.
"Kabyle mendicant woman and her child", a very beautiful vintage albumen print from the period, in very good condition, with preserved contrast, grayscale tones and detail levels from TTB to Superb, attributed to Jean Geiser.
The appeal of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard backing, which is rare.
Hand-labeled on the reverse.
Rare subject.
Deserves to be framed.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition).
Jean Geiser (1848-1923) is one of the most important photographers of colonial Algeria at the end of the 19th century. Of Swiss origin, he settled in Algiers around 1873 and founded a photographic studio there that would quickly become one of the most renowned in North Africa. His work falls within the tradition of Orientalist photography. He produced thousands of images for travelers, settlers and European collectors: views of towns, landscapes, street scenes, portraits of inhabitants and studio compositions featuring dancers, musicians or characters in “exotic” costume.
