The selection includes silver halide prints of various formats and eras, mainly from the early to mid-20th century, recognizable by the texture of the paper, typical borders, and clothing styles represented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the items observed are several portraits of adults, children, and family groups, some posed in studios in plain or ornate cardboard frames. There are also a few outdoor shots, illustrating daily life scenes or gatherings, as well as photos of couples and young children. The media vary: matte papers, thick cards, and some cardboard mounts with visible lettering. A sepia-toned medallion portrait, typical of the 1920s-1930s, is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome prints bear inscriptions or photographer logos, such as \"Portrait d'Art S. Sapianse Marseille\" or \"AIRD,\" confirming the professional origin of part of the lot. The diversity of formats—ranging from small proofs to larger cardboard portraits—enriches this collection, ideal for display in a cabinet of curiosities or vintage decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs exhibit a beautiful variety of framing and compositions, with posed scenes and others captured spontaneously.

The cardboard supports show slight wear compatible with their age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
