In the early 1890s, Joseph Max Lichtenstern left his home in Vienna, Austria, and moved to Egypt. After deciding to reside there permanently, he opened the firm, Cairo Postcard Trust, in 1899. This is an image of his we have long admired, and are very pleased to have found one to share with you.
Perhaps a dancer, the strength and beauty of this unidentified Egyptian woman's features, in combination with native costume elements that so strongly influenced Western art and entertainment at that time, and her wonderful pose that exudes raw sensuality, blend together perfectly in this very powerful photograph. Hope you love it as much as we do.
Very nice unposted condition. Please examine our high res scans for detail.
