Dating to 1905, this glorious flower-strewn scene of summery bliss created by Wilhelm von Gloeden was sold as a postcard (the publisher’s initials AE a co-incidental match for this very blog!). A fine souvenir for the traveller to treasure, or perhaps a treat to send home to a friend who shared the same appreciation of aesthetic beauty and male beauty combined!

Photographed by Arnold Genthe in the 1910s, with perfect pin-sharp focus on the single sunlit figure and the panpipes he holds in his hands.
