Here is a portrait of a facially-injured French soldier from #WWI drawn by the very skilled artist #RaphaelFreida, born #OTD in 1877. He collaborated with #AlbericPont, a dentist who opened one of the first specialist units for facial trauma in Lyon. 23 of Freida’s portraits of these men survive.

😃 My PhD thesis was a study of medical portraits of #WWI facial trauma by #HenryTonks, who’s very well known, and a French artist called #RaphaelFreida who isn’t!! The latter did some fantastic portraits of #AlbericPont patients in various stages of treatment. Wonderful sources.
