Eczema

Alfred Hardy (mentioned on object), c. 1868

A photographer could illustrate a scientific subject more rapidly and precisely than a draughtsman. There was one drawback, however, colour photography did not yet exist then. The physician Arthur de Montméja took photographs for a compendium of skin diseases, and oversaw the hand-colouring of them. And so old-fashioned handiwork nevertheless found a way in through a back door.
