Suicide by Hanging, 1898


Suicide by Hanging, 1898. In atlases and manuals of legal medicine, 19th-century forensic pathologists used pictures and words to show students and colleagues their methodology, a precise inventorying of the condition of the victim's body. The chromolithograph, which could render coloration, texture and subtle shading, was particularly well suited to the task. Eduard Ritter von Hofmann, , Atlas of Legal Medicine
