Tunisia / Algeria / Morocco: A semi-naked young Arab woman, probably a dancer, posing on a stairway. Almost certainly from the studio of Lehnert & Landrock, c. 1915

Lehnert & Landrock: Rudolf Franz Lehnert (Czech) and Ernst Heinrich Landrock (German) had a photographic company based in Tunis, Cairo and Leipzig before World War II. They specialised in somewhat risque Orientalist images of young Arab and Bedouin women, often dancers.
