Wonderful costume! Hand-tinted Belle Epoque image with "Oriental" feel. There certainly were a great many wonderful "harem" style photos taken of dancers in some of France's far flung colonies by adventurous photographers like Monsieur Neurdein of Freres Neurdein, but this is unlikely to be one of them. Primary reason being that we currently (at the time of this listing), have listed another wonderful image in the shop with the same model, but in that one she is dressed as a French farm girl, taking a nap in a pile of straw :) So, this is probably an "in studio" fantasy image, perhaps even produced on a site in Paris. This doesn't look like an actual photograph to us, but produced right around 1900, it is probably a lithographic photo-reproduction of some kind.
Very nice, unposted condition. Please examine our high res scans for detail.
Oh, and please don't overlook the parrot!
