AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Bedouins and Bou Saada River" (Oued de Bou Saada), a very beautiful vintage silver print tinted with selenium salts (warm-tone color development), large format, in very good condition with preserved contrasts, gray nuances and detail levels from TTB to Superb, by Alexandre Bougault.
The value of this print lies in the fact that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard support, which is rare.
Signed with a dry stamp at the bottom right of the print + wet stamp on the back and handwritten caption.
Worthy of 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 there in the heart of an oasis then very frequented by European travelers. He develops local production blending portraits, religious figures, and scenes of everyday life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober framings, soft light, and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics, and textures, giving his subjects an embodied intensity.
