Gloeden, Wilhelm von Elderly man and youth at fountain. 1902. Salted paper print, printed 1909 or later. 17,7 x 22,6 cm. Faint violet photographer’s "W. VON GLOEDEN / TAORMINA (SICILIA) / PROPRIETÀ ARTISTICA" studio stamp and "GRANDE MEDAGLIA D’ORO / DAL MINISTERO PUBBLICA ISTRUZIONE / 1909" award stamp on the verso; further pencil annotations. The staged setting of white drapery, garden foliage and an ornate fountain belongs to Gloeden’s classically inflected Taormina tableaux. Costume, pose and architecture transform the scene into an idealized vision of an imagined Mediterranean past. – Light surface scuffing and scattered small scratches; a small dark rectangular opaque mark in the lower left image area; minor foxing, soiling and age discoloration to the margins and verso, and a few small dark marks in the lower right margin; image slightly faded, retaining warm-brown tones, otherwise in good condition.
