Medizin

Naturwissenschaften – Die Photos zeigen meist Männer und Knaben verschiedenen Alters, vermutlich teils Insassen von psychiatrischen Anstalten, mit verschiedenen anatomischen Abnormitäten (Vitiligo, multiple Fibrome u.a. Hautkrankheiten, Gewebevergrößerungen). Die Abzüge zumeist auf Karton oder stärkeren Papiers verschiedenen Formats und Farbe montiert, drei der Photos mit wiederholten Motiven, einige weitere verso mit Bleistift auf Ungarisch bezeichnet und datiert. Ein recto genauer bezeichnetes Photo gerichtsmedizinischer Natur, mit der Darstellung eines Kopfes mit Einschussloch. - Einige der Abzüge in den Rändern teils leicht ausgesilbert, mit Randeinrissen und etwas gebräunt, meist scharfe und kontrastreiche Abzüge einer wohl unikalen Sammlung.

Natural Sciences – Medicine. - 29 original silver gelatine prints of people with pathological deformities. S. l. (Hungary), 1910. Approx. 16.5 x 11.4 cm to 8 x 4.5 cm. - The photographs mostly show men and boys of various ages, presumably some of whom were inmates of psychiatric institutions, with various anatomical abnormalities (vitiligo, multiple fibromas and other skin conditions, extreme tissue enlargements). The prints are mostly mounted on cardboard or thicker paper of various formats and colours. Three of the photographs feature repeated motifs, and several others are labelled and dated in Hungarian in pencil on the reverse. One photograph, more precisely described in the mounting board recto, is of a forensic nature, depicting a head of a dead body with a bullet hole. - Some of the prints are slightly silvered at the edges, with tears and some discolouration. Overall mostly sharp and high-contrast prints from what is likely a unique collection.
