CDV of a Middle Eastern Couple

Notes: A carte de visite image of a man and a woman, possibly Egyptian, possibly a pregnant woman and her husband. The woman wears a long white veil that extends almost to the ground. Her hands are crossed over her stomach. The man, wearing a fez, stands next to her, holding a document in his left hand.

Most likely, this is a copy print as there is a narrow dark band along the bottom of the image, which is typical of imperfectly produced copy photographs.

Albumen silver print, 2-1/4 by 3-7/8 inches, on a stiff card mount with a decorative Teeple Photography design on the verso (back).

Edition + Condition: An attractive photograph, with good tones, perhaps a touch over exposed as some detail is lost in the white areas.

Publication: Wooster and Ashland, Ohio: Teeple, [1880s].
