AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 18x25 cm.
"Type Kabyles, Algérie", a very beautiful vintage albumen print, in excellent condition with preserved contrasts, grayscale tones and detail levels from good to superb, attributed to Jean Geiser.
The interest of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard support, which is rare.
Labeled bottom left of the print, in the negative.
Rare subject, posed-free, in situ.
Worth framing.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection in good condition).
Jean Geiser (1848-1923) is one of the most important photographers of colonial Algeria at the end of the 19th century. Of Swiss origin, he settled in Algiers around 1873 and founded a photographic studio there that quickly became one of the most renowned in North Africa. His work is part of the Orientalist photography tradition. He produced thousands of images intended for travelers, settlers and European collectors: views of towns, landscapes, street scenes, portraits of inhabitants and studio compositions featuring dancers, musicians or figures in “exotic” costume.
