This vintage postcard features \"Les Amoureux\" which translates to English as \"Lovers\". The pair are dressed in their traditional garb. Both offer the photographer beautiful smiles. The postcard was published by the celebrated ethnographic photography firm, Lehnert & Landrock as part of the III series (No.2532). Rudolf Franz Lehnert (1878-1948) & Ernst Heinrich Landrock (1878-1966) were the principals of the firm.Lehnert was of German origin, while Landrock was from Bohemia.The pair met in Switzerland and decided to go into business together. Lehnert was the photographer and Landrock was the administrator. Landrock organized trips, managed the photo studio and photo production, and marketed the photographs and prints. They were photographers in Tunisia and in Egypt, They also opened studios in Munich (Germany) and Leipzig (Germany). They produced many photographs from Egypt and Tunisia. Their first studio was in Tunis. They photographed monuments and sites in those countries, but were most known for their erotic images of Arab women, often posing in harem themes. Sometimes the photographers seemed more concerned about producing erotic photographs rather than documenting everyday life in these Middle Eastern countries. Lehnert and Landrock were well acclaimed for their work and the duo have images in a number of museums, including Philadelphia’s Penn Museum an the Musee de l’elysee in Lausanne, Switzerland. This vintagepostcard is in very good condition (see scans).
