註釋

In the practice of Dr. X - a dermatologist in Lyon in the early thirties - surface rugged men with bizarre life stories: Foreign Legionnaires, ex-convicts, artists and sailors. They are all tattooed all over their bodies. The doctor and amateur photographer, who liked to take photos of flowers and landscapes on the weekends, was fascinated by the skin illustrations he saw, not as clinical cases but as "secret" works of art. Their diversity, their expressiveness and their particularly ephemeral nature pushed him to set up a private "imaginary museum" of the skin. Dr. X did something highly unusual in scientific photography at the time, he used color in an autochrome process in which a single color negative was used on a glass plate. Thanks to the collector's circumspection of the famous Parisian expert on old photographs, Gerard Levy, this incredible archive of exotic and erotic pictures from the "margins of humanity" has survived.
