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.
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?
His hair style is odd. Dunno...this is kind of morbid. Again, good contrast between his body and the background, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jerry on this - I thought he was in a coffin. Intriguing photo but I doubt that I'll return to it.

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.
