Hartzell headed the Cleveland infectious disease hospital during the city&#8217;s last smallpox epidemic, in 1901-1902.While he may have done so out of scientific interest, these photos speak to us across time, conveying the suffering and disfigurement brought by this terrible disease. This exhibit tells the tale of the epidemic, and shares these images publicly for the first time. Hartzell kept a personal photographic log of the epidemic, as seen in the photos presented here. Some 75 glass negatives, 40 lantern slides, and a small album came to the Dittrick in 1986, along with Hartzell&#8217;s own camera used to capture the epidemic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1303 \" style=\"margin: 10px\" src=\"https:\/\/artscimedia.case.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2013\/12\/14194822\/G-1701a-150x150.jpg\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/><a title=\"Corlett\u2019s Colleciton\" href=\"http:\/\/artsci.case.edu\/dittrick\/online-exhibits\/photographing-dermatology\/corletts-colleciton\/\">Corlett Collection Dermatology Photography<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Dr. William T.
