Show moreThe photograph shows a desert caravan with camels and sand dunes were, a classic subject of their postcard series. Lehnert & Landrock photographic studio - set up by Rudolf Lehnert (1878-1948) and Ernst Landrock (1878-1966) - was active in Tunis (from 1904 to 1923 and from 1930 until nowadays) and Cairo (from 1924 to 1299). Thanks to the photographers frequent excursions in the deserts of North African countries (Tunisia, Algeria but also Egypt), they were able to establish one of the largest photographic library of travel and exploration about North Africa, with picturesque views of oases, desert caravans, encampments, topographic scenes, Bedouins portraits, and more. As for most of the classical orientalist views, the actual location is rather a secondary concern, as they tend to represent an atmosphere more than a specific place. Title and date devised by Library staff. The print is signed with the registered trademark "Lehner and Landrock, Photo Tunis" and numbered (5077). At the right bottom of the print there is an autograph note "Souvenir de mon séjour en Tunisie (1913-1914) Gaston de Buyer-Chaillot". (Memory of my stay in Tunisia, (1913-1914) Gaston de Buyer-Chaillot). Gaston de Buyer-Chaillot was probably the grandson of the well-known Arthur de Buyer-Chaillot, member of the de Buyer family, a French noble family, prominent in the coal mining industry between the XIX and the XX century.
