réf. 5827Algeria S.P. [c.19001910.] Léporello miniature composé de six photographies argentiques sur gélatine, chacune mesurant environ 20 × 17 mm, assemblées en accordéon, d'une longueur totale d'environ 125 mm une fois dépliées. Chaque image est accompagnée d'une légende imprimée : « Un Caïd », « Musicienne kabyle », « Danse du ventre », « Marchand d'étoffes », « Type de Mauresque » et « Mauresque ». Un charmant vestige du commerce touristique en Algérie coloniale. Des bandes de ce type étaient vendues comme souvenirs, généralement dans un petit étui à charnière en métal blanc que l'on portait au bout d'une chaîne de montre, et reproduisaient en miniature les « types » de studio popularisés par les éditeurs de cartes postales algériens. Peu d'exemplaires ont survécu, car ils se perdaient ou étaient jetés facilement. [Sans son étui.] Le leporello est en très bon état et tient bien ensemble. Verso vierge, légèrement noirci. Les plis sont solides. Cf. Malek Alloula, Le Harem colonial (1981).
