AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1890, about 18x25 cm.
"Alger, rue arabe", a very fine interior view of the Casbah of Algiers, attributed to Alexandre Leroux.
An albumen print from the period in good condition, with preserved contrasts, gray tones and detail levels from B to TB.
The value of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard backing, which is rare.
Captioned at the bottom right of the print, in the negative.
Rare subject, in situ.
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 "Moorish", "Arab", "City dress" 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 condition).
