Eder, Josef Maria (1855-1944)
and Valenta, Eduard (1857-1937): Zwei Goldfische und ein Seefisch (Christiceps argentatus) [Two Goldfish and an Ocean Fish (Christiceps argentatus)]. 1896. With the photochemist Valenta, Eder produced a portfolio in January 1896, less than a month after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen published his discovery of X-rays. Eder and Valenta’s volume, from which this plate derives, demonstrated the X-ray’s magical ability to reveal the hidden structure of living things. Photogravure. Image: 4 15/16 × 6 9/16 in. (12.5 × 16.6 cm); Plate: 5 13/16 × 7 9/16 in. (14.7 × 19.2 cm); Sheet: 13 7/8 × 19 5/8 in. (35.3 × 49.9 cm). Purchase, Alfred Stieglitz Society Gifts, Joyce F. Menschel Photography Library Fund, and Maureen and Noel Testa Gift, 2011 (2011.66.10).
