AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Fortune-teller of Good Fortune, Bou Saada", a very beautiful vintage silver gelatin print from the period toned with selenium salts (warm-toned color shift), large format, in very good condition with preserved contrasts, gray tones and detail levels from Very Good to Superb, by Alexandre Bougault.
The interest of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or stiff board, which is rare.
Signed with a dry seal at the bottom right of the print + a wet seal and handwritten caption on the back.
Deserves framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral-pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition).
Settled in Biskra at the end of the 19th century, Alexandre Bougault opened a workshop there in the heart of an oasis then very frequented by European travelers. He developed a local production mixing portraits, religious figures and scenes of daily life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober framing, soft light, and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics and textures, giving his subjects an embodied intensity.
