2.  CABINET CARD OF MAN WITH GASTROSTOMY TUBE.    Cabinet card in good shape. 
 Shows a man with his shirt off and showing his surgically incised 
gastrostomy tube.  "G" tubes are used for feeding and go directly into the 
stomach.  The surgery was first done in America in the 1870's, but only on 
limited basis.  This photo is circa 1880's and was probably medical 
documentation by a physician.  The location of the photographer's studio is 
near the Medical School/Hospital in Phildelphia.  Comes with some articles on 
the history of the procedure and info on the photographers which dates the 
image.  Price $2,500.  (viewable at http://members.aol.com/earlyphoto/gtube).

3.  CABINET CARD PORTRAIT OF WOMAN WITH ACROMEGALY.   Cabinet card sized 
photo of a woman with a huge jaw and facial deformity associated with 
acromegaly.  Nice clean portrait.  Price $95.  (viewable at 
http://members.aol.com/earlyphoto/acromegaly).  

4.  GROSS ANATOMY INSTRUCTION.   Photo shows a group fo seven doctors posed 
in lab behind their corpse.  This type of photo was a "rite of passage" for 
medical students in the later part of the nineteenth century.  Judging by the 
ages of the men posed in this photo, this may be a case study as opposed to 
students.  One man appears in darker robe with traditional hat of the 
"demonstrator".  Corpse covered but legs, feet, and head stick out.  Anatomy 
depictions on chalkboard in the background.  Wonderful subject matter, 
interesting poses, desireable image.  Condition:  mounted albumen photo with 
some foxing you can see in scan.  Additionally, the photo was mounted and the 
mount has been trimmed away down to the photo.  Size of image is 6X8 inches. 
Photo still very good, but mount has been trimmed.  Could be matted out if 
framed.  Price $650.  (viewable at

    The above photographs are just some of many medical photos for sale.  I 
have many more images, including several images of medical students posed 
with their cadavers in gross anatomy lab.  Email me with specific wants and 
I'll check and see.  May list more in the future, so watch for postings.  I 
also sell on EBAY, though that's not the best format for these images.  

    Above prices do not include postage/handling/insurance.  Will quote you 
that charge upon receiving email from you.  I'll sell these images first 
come/first serve.  If you email a question, mention if you want me to hold 
the image.  Will hold any image pending questions, concerns, etc.  You may 
also call me "live" to reserve the pictures at 330.757.7735.  

    I'm always looking for important images from the history of medicine.  
Particularly interested in photos of children with smallpox, pictures of 
medical students with their cadavers, and photos of people with respiratory 
diseases.  

    Thanks for looking and hope to hear from you soon.
