Cushing was given the three lifesize écorchés (skinless figures showing the muscles) by Vittorio Putti, Italian physician and historian of medicine. They were brought first to the villa of Arnold C. Klebs at Nyon, where this photograph was taken. The engravings were created by Antonio Cattani, ca. 1780, from the celebrated écorchés carved in linden wood by Ercole Lelli in 1734 for the Anatomical Theatre in the Archiginnasio in Bologna.
This well-known image of Cushing was taken by his friend, Arnold Klebs. Cushing gave signed copies of this photo to a number of his associates. This copy was given to Richard U. Light.
