AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Bedouins and the Oued of Bou Saada", a very beautiful vintage silver print from the period tinted with selenium salts (warm-tone processing), large format, in very good condition, with preserved contrasts, gray tones and detail levels ranging from TTB to Superb, by Alexandre Bougault.
The interest of this print is 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 + a wet stamp on the back and the caption handwritten.
Deserves framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition).
Based in Biskra at the end of the 19th century, Alexandre Bougault opened a workshop in the heart of an oasis then very frequented by European travelers. He developed a local production mixing portraits, religious figures and scenes of daily life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober framings, soft light and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics and textures, giving his subjects an embodied intensity.
