AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 19x25 cm.
"Arabe d'Alger", a very beautiful portrait of an Algérois from the late nineteenth century (Algeria), attributed to Alexandre Leroux.
A very fine-era collotype in excellent condition, mounted on a thick paper backing.
Excellent preservation of contrasts, gray nuances and levels of detail.
Handwritten caption on the negative.
Based in Algiers, Alexandre Leroux produced numerous studio photographs and local "types," depicting men and women in traditional costumes, in the late nineteenth century. These images, often accompanied by captions such as "Mauresque," "Arabe," "Costume de ville" or "Type d’Algérienne," are numbered and distributed as prints or albums intended for European travelers.
Will be shipped with its sleeve and its neutral-ph backing board (ideal for a collection in good condition).
