Hermann Heid
The more I look at this somewhat jumbled Hermann Heid photo from 1885, the more I like it.
Knowing when this photo was taken, the quality is exceptional, and what can I say about the pose? Absolutely extraordinary, a prime example of early photographic art! Another model that might one day end up on my drawing paper! I'm starting to have too many; I'll never have time to draw them all! Thnks Jerry !
True, and one of the biggest collections of his work is in a University library in Budapest. That old Austro-Hungarian connection lives on in some small way.
Such impressive clarity in the photograph! Beautiful!
