Lehnert & Landrock, the photographic duo of Rudolf Lehnert and Ernst Heinrich Landrock, gained renown in the early 20th century for their romanticized depictions of North Africa and the Middle East, particularly Tunisia and Egypt. Their work, blending artistic vision with technical precision, focused on idealized Orientalist themes, such as landscapes, architecture, and portraits in exoticized settings. Widely distributed as postcards, albums, and prints, their photographs played a key role in shaping Western views of the “Orient.” – Small tear and crease in upper right corner of one print, the other with some scuff marks and light traces of use, otherwise in good to very good condition.
