VINCENZO GALDI (born 11 October 1871 in Naples; † 23 December 1961 in Rome) Galdi came from an old Italian noble family. He was an Italian photographer who was particularly successful with his nudes and erotic scenes. For several years he worked as a model and assistant to the photographer Wilhelm Plüschow in Taormina (Sicily). Galdi moved to Rome like Plüschow. Galdi’s models were adolescents and adults, women and men, individuals and couples. He had great success. After a scandal, in which Plüschow was also implicated, Galdi gave up photography in 1907 and became an art dealer. ‘Junge Frau nackt’ The model is "Ida", which Galdi photographed for years Vintage albumin paper, 1904 Approx. 14.2 x 9.5 cm Very good condition, minimal discolouration at the bottom edge Probably one of a kind The photo is not stamped, but clearly by Galdi and very rare.
