Portrait of Cavafy Collection

V. P. (Fotiadis, Vasilis),
Reproduction (perhaps serigraphy) of a portrait of Cavafy at a young age. The original sketch appears to have been made in Fine-tip pen and signed by its creator, Vasilis Photiadis (V.P.). The poet is depicted in three-quarter view, looking slightly to the left. Blank verso. The portrait is placed inside a heavily oxidised bifolio marked 1923, handwritten by the poet. It was used as the frontispiece of the 1947 French edition of Cavafy's poems.
