Description
Photograph, vintage albumen print, by Constant Peigné, established in Tours from 1881, showing five students or professors of surgery, wearing their traditional clothes and posing with their anatomy skulls.
This photograph has the rare advantage of being, on the one hand, signed and dated by the photographer, and on the other hand, having been signed by all the students or professors: Guérin, G. Roger, Habusseau, Bretonneau, Robert Porentru and Boyer
Beautiful testimony to the fierce spirit of medical schools and a beautiful, old, documented macabre photo.
