AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1900, 22x28 cm.
"Souks de Biskra", very beautiful vintage silver print of the period tinted with selenium salts (warm color shift), large format, in very good condition with preservation of contrasts, gray tones and levels of detail from TTB to Superb, by Alexandre Bougault.
The interest of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard backing, which is rare.
Signed with a blind stamp at the bottom right of the print.
Deserves framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection in good condition).
Settled in Biskra at the end of the 19th century, Alexandre Bougault opened a workshop there in the heart of an oasis then frequented by European travelers. He develops local production mixing portraits, religious figures and scenes of daily life.
His photographs are distinguished by sober framing, soft light and meticulous attention to faces, fabrics and textures, giving his subjects an embodied intensity.
