NOTES
This Wellcome Collection record is for a lithograph of about 1860 depicting the forms of water application at the Gräfenberg establishment Priessnitz founded. The sheet’s own printed title is ‘Wasser Anwendungsformen in der Wasser-Heilanstalt zu Gräfenberg’, and it lays out a grid of labelled scenes of the cure procedures rather than any named person, so the caption follows the printed title and the catalogue and makes no personal identification. The image used is the record’s lead image (Wellcome image V0016688; iconographic no. 20236i). It carries a Public Domain Mark and is used as the object-role illustration of the cure, the visual lead for the case page.
