Photographed Circa, 1890
Photographer: Paul Kooiker
The photographs from the archives of Dutch town of Utrecht`s university hospital (records of medical disorders).
In the early days of medical photography clinical standards had yet to be formulated for photographic images. Consequently, many photographs are more poignant and beautiful than they are scientific. Light, space and patients` complete submission to doctors and photographers evoke feelings of compassion, surprise, embarrassment and amusement rather than disgust or scientific curiosity.
One of the conditons was Goitre a thyroid condition once common there due to a deficiency of iodine in the drinking water. The exhibition “Utrechtse Krop in De Kabinetten van De Vleeshal” centred around the appeal of illness and the fragility of our physical being.
