The early 20th-century North African photographs of Lehnert and Landrock reflect the particular concern of Lehnert (the actual photographer) for the desert, the oasis, and women. In contrast to the studied eroticism of his Tunisian courtyard portraits and tableaus staged with young prostitutes, Lehnert’s desert, oasis, and women of the oasis photographs are often extraordinary.

L'Orient
The Photographs of Lehnert and Landrock

Lehnert and Landrock, writes S. Abdallah Schleifer in the catalog essay from this show, "discovered they shared a passion for 'L'Orient." Their photographs "helped define that portion of the West's understanding of the Orient that was attracted not merely by the exotic but also by the overwhelming beauty and dignity of the traditional Arab environment."
