Lehnert & Landrock were a photographic duo known for their studio and landscape work in North Africa during the early 20th century, particularly in Tunisia and Egypt. Their images, ranging from posed portraits and genre scenes to architectural studies and desert landscapes, catered to a European audience fascinated by Orientalist themes. While often celebrated for their technical refinement and atmospheric composition, their work also reflects the colonial gaze, staging local people and settings in ways that aligned with Western ideals of exoticism, beauty, and cultural otherness. – Some light smudge marks. otherwise in near excellent condition.
