Grüne Eidechse
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION
In December 1895, when German engineer and physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered the X-ray, it quickly became a hit in both scientific and popular circles. Less than a month later, Austrian photochemists Joseph Maria Eder (1855–1944) and Eduard Valenta (1857–1937) published their portfolio Versuche über Photographie mittelst der Röntgen’schen Strahlen (Experiments on Photography by Means of X-Rays), which revealed the invisible structures of human hands and feet, fish, frogs, a snake, a chameleon, a lizard, a rat, and a newborn rabbit, along with carved cameos and various natural materials.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Eder, the director of an institute for graphic processes and the author of an early history of photography, worked with photochemist Valenta to produce these stunning images. In an era when photography’s ability to accurately depict the visible world had become commonplace, this newfound ability to record the invisible opened up new scientific and aesthetic possibilities. The images are an early example of those possibilities, combining a scientific precision with an artist’s sensibility.
