SUMMARY
Photograph of the cover of Bircher-Benner's journal, dated August 1933. The masthead, read directly from the image during the media vision pass on 2026-06-05, gives the full title 'Der Wendepunkt im Leben und im Leiden', the issue line 'X. Jahrgang, August 1933, Nr. 9', and the footer 'Herausgeber: Dr. med. Bircher-Benner, Zürich', so the artifact itself names Bircher-Benner as the journal's editor/publisher. License posture read from the Wikimedia Commons imageinfo/extmetadata API on 2026-06-05: LicenseShortName 'Public domain', UsageTerms 'Public domain', DateTimeOriginal 1933. The source file reports 1055x1664 px; the local archive copy was resized to 1014x1600 on 2026-07-08 for the current 1600px long-side cap. That Bircher-Benner operated his own publishing house, Wendepunkt-Verlag, is independently corroborated by the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek catalogue, which records works by him issued 'Zürich: Wendepunkt-Verl.'. Rights tag public_domain matches the Commons record. The caption is held to what the artifact shows and asserts no named persons depicted.
