Dr. Armand Trousseau (1801-1867) & Students
Albumen print, c. 1860
10/10; 198 x 255 mm, mounted
$6000.
Armand Trousseau was one of the most important clinicians of the 19th century and was of great importance in the history of medicine. He developed treatments for many diseases including emphysema, pleurisy and malaria and coined the term aphasia. He was known as a dedicated and charismatic teacher and many of his students achieved fame with medical breakthroughs in their own right. After his death, Trousseau was awarded the Legion of Honor (1871) and a children's hospital in Paris was named after him. To our knowledge this photograph is unique. it is perhaps because Trousseau was known as such an influential teacher that this intimate group portrait has an added poignancy.
Berthier's blindstamp is on the mount.
