Hidden Treasure: 10 Centuries of Visualizing the Body in Rare Archival Images
Civil War Surgical Card Collection (1860s)
The Army Medical Museum’s staff mined incoming reports for ‘interesting’ cases — such as a gunshot would to the ‘left side of scalp, denuding skull’ or ‘gunshot would, right elbow with gangrene supervening’ — and cases that demonstrated the use of difficult surgical techniques, such as an amputation by circular incision or resection of the ‘head of humerus and three inches of the left clavicle.’
Washington, DC. 146 numbered cards, with tipped-in photographs and case histories
