Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 18x26 cm.
"Fileuses arabes, Egypte", a very fine period albumen print, in very good condition with preserved contrasts, gray nuances, and levels of detail ranging from Very Good to Superb, by Pascal Sebah.
The value of this print lies in the fact that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard backing, which is rare.
Labeled and signed at the bottom of the print, in the negative.
A rare, unstaged subject, in situ.
Deserves framing (slight edge wear with sepia toning as often).
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition).
Pascal (P.) Sebah is one of the great photographers active in Constantinople in the second half of the 19th century. His studio, located in the heart of the city, quickly became a reference for travelers and diplomats seeking images of the Ottoman Empire and Egypt.
Sebah produced portraits, “types” scenes, and monumental views with great technical mastery and careful staging.
