Title:

At the time of this photograph was the Carville, Louisiana Leprosarium's Chief Medical Officer (1947-1953), Dr. F. A. Johansen himself, stan

Description:

At the time of this photograph was the Carville, Louisiana Leprosarium's Chief Medical Officer (1947-1953), Dr. F. A. Johansen himself, standing 6 feet, 3 inches tall in his impeccably clean uniform. The doctor was said to have been a fine practitioner, and a gentleman."Patients of the U.S. Marine Hospital in Carville, Louisiana, produced a set of 35 mm slides around 1950 from which this image was derived. In 2002, a patient's son donated the set, the only one known in existence, to the museum. The father, a patient at Carville for several years, brought these slides home around 1950 to give his family a snapshot of life at the national leprosarium. The act of quarantining patients for leprosy (HD) remained law in the state of Louisiana until 1957."
