AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Bedouins of the desert", a very beautiful vintage silver print from the era, toned with selenium salts (warm color shift), large format, in very good condition with preserved contrasts, gray nuances, and levels of detail from TTB to Superb, by Alexandre Bougault.
The value of this print lies in the fact that it has not been mounted on the page of an album or on a cardboard support, which is rare.
Signed with a dry seal at the bottom right of the print.
Deserves framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral-pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good conditions).
Based in Biskra at the end of the 19th century, Alexandre Bougault opened a workshop in the heart of an oasis that was then very frequented by European travelers. He developed a local production blending portraits, religious figures, and scenes of daily life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober compositions, soft light, and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics, and textures, giving his subjects a embodied intensity.
