Attr. Jean Geiser (XIX) - Barbier

Circa 1880, 18x24 cm. "Barbier", a very beautiful portrait from the late nineteenth century (Algeria), attributed to Jean Geiser. Very beautiful albumen print from the period in very good condition, mounted on a cardboard backing. Excellent preservation of contrasts, gray nuances and levels of detail. Handwritten caption on the back of the cardboard backing. 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 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 for travelers, settlers and European collectors: city views, landscapes, street scenes, portraits of inhabitants and studio compositions featuring dancers, musicians or figures in “exotic” costume. Will be shipped with its pouch and its cardboard backing at neutral pH (ideal for a collection in good condition).
