AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 19x26 cm.
Arab Street (Algiers), a very beautiful interior view of the Casbah of Algiers, attributed to Alexandre Leroux.
Period albumen print in very good condition, with preserved contrasts, gray tones, and levels of detail ranging from TTB to superb.
The value of this print lies in the fact that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard support, which is rare.
Legend at the bottom of the print, in the negative.
Rare subject, in situ.
Worth framing.
Based in Algiers, Alexandre Leroux produced numerous studio photographs and “types” of locals, depicting men and women in traditional costumes, in the late nineteenth century. These images, often accompanied by captions such as “Moor,” “Arab,” “City costume” or “Algerian type,” are numbered and distributed as prints or albums intended for European travelers.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection in good conditions).
