I said, “Isn’t there some count or baron or something who took photographs of children in Italy?... Do you happen to have any pictures by him?” and the dealer pulled out a book of original von Gloeden photographs. This was really the first acquisition Sam Wagstaff or myself made in photography... that started the whole thing going.
