Posted by Judy Weiser, Administrator It is discussed in the 1976 book "The Face of Madness: Hugh W. Diamond and the origin of psychiatric photography", which was edited by Sander Gilman, which was published by Citadel Press in Secaucus, New Jersey. Also, it is listed in the "Recommended Readings" pages of my book (on page 364). Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the paper -- but I believe the editors of the 1983 book, "PhotoTherapy in Mental Health" do -- if you need a copy, contact David Krauss directly (his email address is on the "Who's Doing What, Where" page of the PhotoTherapy Techniques Website). Hope this helps -- and now please tell us the reason you are asking -- are you writing about the History of this field?? Judy Weiser

It was a paper titled: "On the application of photography to the physiognomic and mental phenomena of insanity" which was read by its author Hugh W. Diamond, before the Royal Society in England (don't know the city), on May 22, 1856.
