Inscriptions: Inscribed verso backing, in brown ink, by Millet: "This belongs to / Josiah B. Millet / 88 Garden St. / Cambridge" and in pencil in unknown later hand, a numbered diagram of participants around the operating table, from left to right clockwise: "1. J. Mason Warren / 2. Henry G. Clarke / 3. [illeg.] / [4.] [illeg.] / [5.] Freeman J. Bumstead / 6. [illeg.] Townsend / 7. John C. Warren / 8. Chas. H. Hildreth." All retraced in ink by J. Millet.The diagram in pencil and surrounding notations are mostly illegible. Beaumont Newhall via Richard B. Holman describes the image as follows: "left foreground, John Mason Warren, M.D.; extreme left, George Hayward, M.D.; with left-arm akimbo, Solomon D. Townsend, M.D.; with hands on patient's thigh, John Collins Warren, M.D.; at extreme right, James Johnson, M.D. The figure administering ether is not Dr. Morton, but a stand-in. The patient is also a substitute." Note: inscriptions may or may not be by Millet, however, will stand until these can be fur |
