Portret photography
Small miracles
€175.00
A collection of postcards from Africa. Limited edition that includes an original postcard.
This bilingual (French/English) art book presents a curated collection of 167 full-page exotic postcards dating between 1895 and 1920. The work is organized into seven sections covering North Africa, Egypt, Black Africa, Madagascar, Ceylon, Indochina, and Japan. Djan Seylan, a photographer and collector, highlights the visual poetry of these 'small miracles'—capturing lost worlds, majestic dignity in portraiture, and enchanting landscapes that evoke nostalgia for vanished paradises. The book serves as both a historical record of early 20th-century photography and an aesthetic exploration of human diversity and environmental beauty.
