Torald Sollmann’s Studies of Mustard Gas

Figures from Sollmann’s 1919 paper on mustard gas(7). The photograph on the left (originally, Sollmann’s Figure 2⇓), shows some of the more severe injuries observed in this study. The photograph on the right (originally, Sollmann’s Figure 5), shows Sollmann’s own forearm, demonstrating partial protection against mustard gas by selected agents (as well as Sollmann’s personal commitment to his research).
