The latest issue of History of Photography is out and it includes my article on the funding and institutionalisation of medical photography! I loved that they used the only photo in the article, a negative glass plate of the Salpêtrière photo studio, in the front cover ❤️ #photohist #histmed

Cover image for History of Photography volume 48 issue 1 (2025). The background is grey. At the top it says History of Photography in white. In the middle of the page there is a glass plate negative of a photo studio. You can see a camera on a tripod, several other devices on the sides, and the stage, with more devices.
