AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 19x26 cm. 'Mendiants kabyles', very beautiful period albumen print in excellent condition, with preserved contrasts, gray-scale nuances and levels of detail from TB to TTB, attributed to Jean Garrigues. The merit of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard support, which is rare. Legend at the bottom left of the print, in the negative. Rare, unposed subject in situ. Deserves framing. Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection in good condition).
Jean Garrigues was active in Tunisia at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, in a context of photographic growth linked to the protectorate and the development of tourism. 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 clear composition, attentive to architecture, markets, and local figures, through a production that is both documentary and commercial.
