Many of the pictures will travel to other cities. The magazine Modern Medicine, which collected the show, chose Baltimore as an early stop because most top medical artists stem from a Baltimore school. They are pupils of the late great Max Brödel (TIME, March 14, 1938), who for 29 years occupied Johns Hopkins' chair of Arts as Applied to Medicine...

He practiced and taught a kind of work that color photography has never been able to supplant.

To make sketches for the "stereoscopic paintings" she studied cadavers and anatomy books, watched operations, practiced dissection on pigs' eyes, finally dissected 20 human eyes herself. She is now working up a series on ears for Army flight surgeons. The Human Eye's text is by Ophthalmologist Peter Kronfeld, with a historical appendix by Anatomist Stephen Polyak, both of Chicago...
