GEORGE WASHINGTON CORNER SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE "A Certain Interest in Curiosity": Manipulation in Early Medical Photography and the Erotics of Pathologized Viewing Brynne McBryde, PhD Collegiate Fellow University of Maryland Wednesday, April 16, 2025 5:30 pm Lecture 6:45 - 7:15 Social Gathering In 1869 an innovative new medical journal the Photographic Review of Paris Hospitals (Revue photographique des hôpitaux de Paris) made its debut. Unlike previous journals and textbooks, which relied on hand-made prints for illustrations, the Photographic Review published photographs taken in the Paris hospitals, touting their “truth” and “superiority to other visual mediums.” What are we to make, then, of the fact that several of the photographs in the journal have quite clearly been manipulated? This talk looks carefully at the types of images that were published in the Photographic Review, the ways they were manipulated, and the dynamics of elite male social networks in nineteenth-century France to explore the motivations of the journal’s editors and readers and how they have become sanitized by notions of medical objectivity today. Together, we will consider the role that pleasure played and plays in viewing and sharing images of extreme physical difference and what, if anything, separates medical looking from other forms of visual consumption. Please be aware that this talk includes photographs of nude people, some featuring genitalia, whose level of consent is impossible to determine.

Our next Corner Society (and the last one of the season!) is on April 16!
Please join us (in person or online) to hear Brynne McBryde speak about her brilliant work on photographic manipulation in medical journals.
Wednesday, April 16, 5:30 pm, Rochester Academy of Medicine or online.
