• catalog abstract "Comprising approximately 400 plates of mounted albumen photographic prints with accompanying case histories, Photographs of Surgical cases and specimens contains extensive visual documentation of patients who suffered traumatic wounds during and shortly after the Civil War. The majority of the subjects were soldiers (both Union and Confederate), though the later volumes in the series, compiled and published after the war, include civilian cases that were considered relevant additions to the collection. The work contains both portraiture and specimen photography, as well as a small number of photographically-reproduced drawings and paintings. The majority of specimens illustrate fractures or necrotic bone degeneration arising from shrapnel or gunshot wounds. The portraits for the most part illustrate the results of amputation or resection, and in nearly all cases the full names and regimental designations of the soldiers are included, along with the time and place of their injuries (including the names of specific battles), details of treatment, and final outcomes. Veterans and active-duty soldiers were sometimes photographed shortly after surgical treatment in field hospitals, or sometimes years later, in a portrait studio at the museum. The result is that surgical outcomes are illustrated over a variety of points in the recovery process. A number of subjects are photographed in uniform.".
