Vintage olive-brown toned gelatin-silver print of three Tunisian woman in courtyard by Lehnert and Landrock, ca. 1920s. Dimensions 9.5 x 7 inches (24x28 cm). Reverse bears a four-language copyright notice for "Lehnert & Landrock, phot. Tunis."   ( Inventory# eo109 )

Rich tonality in this composition by probably the most desirable 20th century middle east studio. Lehnert and Landrock's work is sometimes reminiscent of their contemporary Edward Curtis and often found in gravure form. This is a beautiful example of their less common gelatin-silver prints.
