| Abstract: |
The 20 frontal and profile portraits of
ten Algerian soldiers who visited Paris in 1863 were taken by Philippe-Jacques Potteau as
part of his larger anthropological project for the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle,
known as the Collection anthropologique du Muséum de Paris (1855-1869). Seven pairs of
photographs are of soldiers from the 3rd Regiment of Algerian Tirailleurs, an infantry
corps, and three pairs depict soldiers from the 2nd and 3rd Regiments of Algerian Spahis, or
light cavalry units.
