Béchard, Henri
Portraits and views of Egypt. 1880s. 6 albumen prints. Circa 27 x 21 cm and 21 x 27 cm. Each with photographer's name in lower right corner, as well as numbered and titled in lower left in the negative, mounted to board, most annotated in pencil below images on mount.
Béchard produced some of the most well-composed and endearing photographs of Egypt. They are not as common as photos by Sebah, Bonfils, Arnoux and Zangaki, as the studio only worked from the 1870s-1880s, whereas the other studios were still producing work throughout the 1890s. The prints offered here are signed by H.(enri) Béchard but prints signed by Émile Béchard, who might have been his brother or even the same person, also exist.
