Lateral and top views of a human skull
Goldhamer began his career as an X-ray specialist in Vienna, where he was head of the X-radiography laboratory of the Anatomischen Lehrkanzel (Anatomical faculty). He then made these recordings of the skull of a living person, using prints of them as illustrations for a scientific article he had written. From the 1940s onwards, he worked as an X-ray specialist at St. Mary’s Hospital in Quincy, Illinois, the United States.
