AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 20x27 cm.
"Rue à Alger", a very beautiful view of the Casbah of Algiers by Eugène Michel (late 19th/early 20th century).
Very beautiful vintage silver print from the period in very good condition, free (not mounted, rare), and with beautiful preservation of contrasts, grey nuances, and levels of detail.
Labeled in the negative and signed with a wet stamp on the back.
Eugène Michel was active in North Africa at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, where he worked both as a photographer and as a publisher. His photographs blend urban views, landscapes, and portraits of so-called “types,” with particular attention to light contrasts and architectural textures. At the crossroads of documentary work and commercial publishing, his work contributes to the construction of a visual imagination of the Maghreb for a European audience.
Deserves framing.
Small PR conservatoire, not to be missed.
Will be shipped with its folder and its cardboard support on neutral pH (ideal for a collection in good condition).
