Crupi made photographic studies in Sicily and became a friend and certainly influenced the work of the famous Wilhelm von Gloeden. Von Gloeden bought some of Crupi's negatives when the latter left Sicily and published them under his own name.
Crupi's 'Fotografia Artistica' ink stamp is on the verso of this print.
