AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 19x26 cm.
"Mendiants kabyles", a very beautiful vintage albumen print, in very good conservation condition, with preserved contrasts, gray nuances and levels of detail from TB to TTB, attributed to Jean Garrigues.
The value of this print lies in its not being glued onto a page of an album or a cardboard support, which is rare.
Labeled at the bottom left of the print, in the negative.
Rare, unposed subject, in a natural setting.
Worthy of framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection under good conditions).
Jean Garrigues was active in Tunisia at the end of the 19th century and in the early 20th century, in a context of photographic growth linked to the protectorate and the development of tourism. Photographer and publisher, he produced urban views, scenes of life and portraits distributed as prints and postcards.
His work is characterized by clear light and a straightforward composition, attentive to architecture, markets and local figures, through a body of work that is both documentary and commercial.
