circa 1900. Cushing studied with Max Brödel (1870-1941) who developed a
two-tone drawing technique using carbon dust and Stipple board. In 1898,
Brödel began his career at John Hopkins School of Medicine as the
personal illustrator for Dr. Howard Kelly. He became head of “Art as
Applied to Medicine” in 1911, the first medical illustration department
in the world. Brödel was also the founder of the Association of Medical
Illustrators. He illustrated surgical procedures such as Cushing
performing a transsphenoidal hypophysectomy using an incandescent head
lamp to illuminate the surgical site.
