Désiré-Magloire Bourneville and Paul Regnard, from Iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière (Paris 1875)

The book contains a series of 120 photographs depicting patients (this one diagnosed with hysterical epilepsy) from the neuropsychiatric department of la Pitié-Salpêtrière, one of the largest hospitals in 19th-century Paris. It was one of the first medical studies addressing mental health to use photography rather than drawing/painting for illustrations.
