Gerontius


Mr. Scumbeast thought this odd photo was a reference to the legend of Gerontius, 
and he may have been right.  I got the impression of a nude man in a coffin, fwiw.

His hair style is odd. Dunno...this is kind of morbid. Again, good contrast between his body and the background, though.

I'm with Jerry on this - I thought he was in a coffin. Intriguing photo but I doubt that I'll return to it.

Just tossing this out as further speculation: It could be a makeshift cot, or a cot in a box frame. However, it does look like the photographer was going for that "funereal look."

Altho, how many people are buried naked? And with their watch on?

I think you may be right about it being a cot (or even a small bed) in a box frame. FWIW, I've heard of nudists being buried naked, but it is rare.
