Kinderschedel met wisselgebit before 1877

"Kinderschedel mit wisselgebit" is an anonymous photograph from before 1877. This small-scale (145 x 101 mm) photo depicts a child's skull in a stark, frontal view. The skull's features are clearly visible, including the deciduous (baby) teeth. This image is likely a scientific study, as it is captioned "Photographischer Probedruck von G. Schmidt & Wall in Wien," suggesting a connection to medical photography. While the artist remains unknown, this detailed study of the skull is a compelling example of the early use of photography for scientific research.
