The first book on the Mütter Museum contain artful images of the museum's fascinating exhibits shot by contemporary fine art photographers. Here; the focus is on the museum’s archive of rare historic photographs; most of which have never been seen by the public. Featured are poignant; aesthetically accomplished works ranging from Civil War photographs showing injury and recovery; to the ravages of diseases not yet conquered in the 19th century; to pathological anomalies; to psychological disorders. Many were taken by talented photographers between the 1860s and the 1940s as records for physicians to share among colleagues and to track patients’ conditions; and demonstrate various techniques used in medical photography including the daguerreotype; micrography; X ray; and traditional portrait-style photography. As visual documents of what humans endured in the face of limited medical knowledge; these extraordinary and haunting photographs demonstrate how far medicine has advanced.
