This photograph of President Franklin D. Roosevelt was taken in 1940 as he stood on the steps of Building 1 and delivered a speech to dedicate the new Bethesda campus of the National Institute of Health.
We're adding a little mystery on this #ManuscriptMonday. These drawings are from an anatomical sketchbook created in New Harmony, Indiana in 1830. Each drawing is signed with the pseudonym "Clorion."
In recognition of C. Everett Koop's high visibility in the public media and his advocacy of child health and safety, several toy manufacturers created dolls in his likeness. For #NationalDollDay, we are sharing a photograph of Dr. Koop holding one of these look-alike dolls.
We're sending you this early #20thCentury postcard for today's #ArchivesHashtagParty theme of #ArchivesPostcard. The front features a photo-multigraph of a nurse created by photographer Lucien Gaulard of Marseille. Using a "trick mirror" technique invented in the early 1890s by James B. Shaw in Atlantic City, Gaulard created a single photograph of the same nurse seated in five positions. If you look closely, you can see the two positions in the back were carefully scraped away by hand to feature only the forward-, left-, and right-facing positions.
In 1927 Carl Hubert Sattler (1880–1953?), a Königsberg physician, produced an inexpensive set of stereoscope cards for the diagnosis and treatment of juvenile strabismus at home, subsequently widely translated and reprinted. The cards come in pairs that, viewed through a stereoscope, make a composite picture. NLM holds an edition published in 1942. Learn more in "'What do you See?': Stereoscopic Pictures, 1942," the latest post from the Circulating Now blog (🔗 link in bio or https://loom.ly/I8iwAPk).
This illustration of subarachnoid injections of the human brain is from the first volume of Studien in der Anatomie des Nervensystems und des Bindegewebes ("Studies in the Anatomy of the Nervous System and Connective Tissue"). Finished over seven years, this groundbreaking project features the most detailed illustrations of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves of its time. Read more about the work in the latest post from the Circulating Now blog (🔗 Link in Bio or https://loom.ly/tCnhevc).
