✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A brief description is given of a male dwarf painted by the Italian artist Geromo Induno in 1852. This portrayal seems not to have been mentioned previously in the medical literature. Several experts were consulted in an attempt to diagnose the underlying skeletal dysplasia. Most opted for pseudoachondroplasia, with the most detailed argument coming from the subject of this Festschrift. Β© 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
