AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 18x25 cm.
"Type Kabyles, Algérie", a very beautiful vintage albumen print, in very good condition with preserved contrast, gray tones and detail levels from Very Good to Superb, attributed to Jean Geiser.
The value of this print lies in not being mounted on a page of an album or a stiff backing, which is rare.
Labeled at the bottom left of the print, in the negative.
Rare, unposed subject, in situ.
Worth framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good conditions).
Jean Geiser (1848-1923) is one of the most important photographers of colonial Algeria in the late 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 is part of the Orientalist photography tradition. He produced thousands of images for travelers, settlers and European collectors: views of cities, landscapes, street scenes, portraits of inhabitants and studio compositions featuring dancers, musicians or people in exotic costume.
