Original albumen photograph mounted on card by Gustave Le Gray representing Alexandre Dumas with beard in white trousers. Deep blacks and beautiful contrast.
Photo mounted on heavy paper. Very fine condition. As the Legray house was acquired by the Alophe house, the print is probably slightly later.

On verso, the author's name in manuscript and a stamp: Ancienne maison Legray et Cie, Alophe Succr. 35 Boulevart des Capucines.
