SEXUAL MEDICINE HISTORY: Early Photo-Illustration of a Hermaphrodite by the French Photographer and Artist Nadar in 1860

As early as 1860 the French photographer Gaspard Felix Tournachon, called Nadar (1820-1910), took a series of nine photographs depicting a young intersex patient. These illustrations were not published at their time and little is known about the patient and the role of the physicians involved in this case. The article discusses the available information on these artworks that today belong to the photographic collection of the Musee d'Orsay in Paris.
