Subject: For moderation - MEDICAL IMAGE AVAILABLE FOR SALE
Attention to Institutions, Medical School Libraries, and Private Collectors:
Important daguerreotype for sale immediately. Two sixth plate
daguerreotypes
circa 1850. They both show a baby with a horrible myelomeningocele. In one
image, the baby is held toward the camera showing the myelomeningocele. In
the other, which is by far more important, the baby breastfeeds from his/her
mother. I know of about a dozen daguerreotypes of baby's breastfeeding
extant, and this one is outstanding. Not only is it an important medical
image, there is a sense of poignancy. Mother and baby have eye contact in
the breastfeeding image, making it a beautiful picture. Extremely important
medical daguerreotype. Viewable at http://members.aol.com/earlyphoto and
choose "medag". Feel free to email me any questions or comments.
