Tunisia: Portrait of Ahmad, a young Arab man, by Lehnert & Landrock, c. 1910

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, and occasionally androgynous young men.
