This issue features images from one of the first series of X-rays ever produced, by Josef Maria Eder (1855–1944), a director of an institute for graphic processes, and Eduard Valenta (1857–1937), a photochemist, both from Austria. The images come from a portfolio titled Experiments in Photography by means of X-Rays.
