• As early as 1860 the French photographer Gaspard Félix Tournachon, called Nadar (1820-1910), took a series of nine photographs depicting a young intersex patient. These illustrations were not published at their time and little is known about the patient and the role of the physicians involved in this case. The article discusses the available information on these artworks that today belong to the photographic collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
