Roberto Donetta was a Swiss photographer round the turn of the century, forgotten until the 1970s when a stash of 5000 of his pictures was found in an attic.

He seemed to favour groups of five:

Roberto-Donetta-i

Roberto-Donetta-j

15

Female-Workers-in-Front-of-the-Chocolate-Factory-Cima-Norma-Dangio-Torre-1280x934

Though not always:

Roberto-Donetta-o-1280x952

Roberto-Donetta-m

Roberto-Donetta-q-752x1024

That lad seems to have an enormous left hand.

    The lad also seems to have big feet and to be exceptionally tall. Acromegaly?

    Possibly. But don’t those with acromegaly usually have distinctive facial features? – bulging forehead and the like.
    Whatever, he’s a big lad alright.
