For the 19th century traveler to Tunisia, Photographie Garrigues consisted mostly of typical views suitable for tourists’ portfolios, but also included some outstanding images, particularly studio portraits of natives. Compared to Algeria and Egypt, far fewer 19th-century photographs are known from Tunisia and records of commercial photographers are few. See K. Jacobson, Odalisques and Arabesques: Orientalist Photography 1839-1925 (London, 2007).
