Two sweet and unusual photocards (probably from a larger set) from Italy depicting a group of young men re-enacting a classical idyll. Guessing these were shot between the 1940s - 1950s. They're after the jump. [Maybe NSFW]

These are photographs from Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856–1931). He made these pictures in Taormina on Sicily in the decades before and after 1900.

I have a book of his photography, his nudes are great. While he is known by many for his male nudes he also did some female nudes.
The really pale guy has a really nice ass. Jus thad to throw that out there. :)
Wim, thank you so much for telling me. Amazing work and I'm thrilled to know the artist's name.
I couldn't agree more, Bil. These are delightful pictures...feel free to share more of them with us, Gloria.
