The photographs promote the benefits of conservative surgery when treating a suppurating tumor of the elbow. In the words of the author, "L'authenticité de nos observations est assurée par l'addition de quelques photographies." The two male subjects, ages 27 and 40, are shown in various poses to demonstrate the functionality of their arms – flexing the elbow, making a fist, or in one photograph, lifting a chair.
