Photographer: ?

Date: ? 1909 -1912

Location: Bucharest, Romania

The portrayed: Group of professors at the Bucharest's Faculty of Medicine; the second from left, in the sitting row, seems to be Thoma Ionescu (1860-1926), the great surgeon and anatomist (at that time dean of the medical school ( ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoma_Ionescu) (; the first from left (half of face, only), in the standing row, probably is Nicolae Paulescu(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolae_Paulescu ) (1869-1931;one of the discoverers of Insulin) (he became professor of medicine in 1900)(; the little bald gentleman, with black moustache, fourth from left, in the standing row, is, for sure, Alexandru Obregia, the psychiatrist; he became professor of medicne in 1909; the photo was from his album.

Help from Romanian historians of medicine, would be very welcome.

Format: remains of a bigger photo, on cardboard; although in a deplorable state, I feel it to be too interesting, not to be known.
