A captivating carte de visite (CDV) photograph captures a North African baker in the act of selling flatbread, circa 1870s. The sepia-toned image features the elderly man seated with a basket of flatbreads arranged in front of him, using a stick to gesture toward his wares. His weathered face and traditional attire offer a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the time. The photograph, with its rich historical context, is a fine example of 19th-century ethnographic photography, providing a valuable insight into the trades and professions of North Africa during this period.
