Photographic illustrations of cutaneous syphilis
PI
George Henry Fox2 editions

The first fasciculus contains four quartoplates prepared by the artotype process, representing erythematous syphilis with the pigmentation and leucoderma which may follow the disappearance of a syphiloderm. These are excellent, the delicate tinting reproducing admirably the non-pronounced character of the lesion as to color. These condfasciculus is composed of four plates portraying, respectively, lenticular, miliary, squamous, and papular syphiloderms. These also are highly creditable to the artist. The first and second, of necessity, have a slight tendency to pictorial development; the third attempts, with commendable but not perfect success, as difficult a task as there is, perhaps, namely, the accurate imitation of scales in relief; the fourth is typical and admirable. The four illustrations in the third number are different from those given in the provisional list of what might be expected. They consist of I, syphiloderma papulosum circinatum, which is very good; IL, S.papulo-squamosum, open to the criticism already made above; III.and IV., S.pipulo-pustulosum, the former more papular, the latter more pustular, and both well executed, but needing no special encomium or disparagement. -- Boston Medical and Surgical Journal 1881:014: Jan. 13, 1881.
