AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Circa 1880, 21x28 cm.
"Young Egyptian Woman", a very beautiful vintage albumen print, large format, in very good condition, with preserved contrast, gray tones and detail levels from Very Good to Superb, by Félix Bonfils.
The value of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard support, which is rare.
Deserves framing.
Labeled and signed at the bottom of the print in the negative.
Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection in good condition).
Félix Bonfils is one of the great photographers of the Levant at the end of the 19th century. Based in Beirut since the 1860s, he founded the house “Bonfils”, which quickly became an important photographic studio and publishing house disseminating views, Biblical landscapes and portraits across Europe.
His images stand out for technical mastery, clear light and rigorous composition, balancing documentary ambition with a romantic gaze.
