JLG3562 Provenance: Max Dupain estate. It is interesting to note that the title of this photograph refers to the then Fascist Italian Consul General in Australia. In a letter from Dr. Julian Smith to Cazneaux, he mentions bringing Dr. Grossardi to visit Cazneaux's studio (National Library of Australia). One can only speculate why Cazneaux would refer to himself in such a way. |
