Attr. Jean Garrigues (XIX) - Femmes de Biskra

Circa 1880, 18x26 cm. "Femmes de Biskra", a very beautiful vintage albumen print, in very good condition, with preserved contrasts, grayscale nuances and levels of detail from Very Good to Superb, attributed to Jean Garrigues. The appeal of this print is that it is not mounted on an album page or cardboard backing, which is rare. Labeled at the bottom left of the print, in the negative. Rare, unposed subject, in situ. Deserves framing. Will be shipped with its neutral pH sleeve (ideal for a collection kept in good condition). Jean Garrigues was active in Tunisia at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, in a context of photographic growth linked to the protectorate and the development of tourism. Photographer and publisher, he produced urban views, scenes of daily life and portraits distributed as prints and postcards. His work is characterized by clear light and a crisp composition, attentive to architecture, markets and local people, through a production that is both documentary and commercial.
