Dr. Auguste Nelaton (1807-1873): A Pioneering French Surgeon of the Napoleonic Era This photograph captures the distinguished visage of Dr. Auguste Nelaton, a renowned French surgeon of the 19th century. Dr. Nelaton is best known for his successful operation on Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian patriot and military leader, in 1862. The operation, which took place during the Franco-Italian War, was a turning point in Garibaldi's life and a testament to Dr. Nelaton's surgical prowess. Born in Paris in 1807, Dr. Nelaton began his medical studies at the prestigious École de Médecine de Paris. He quickly gained a reputation for his expertise in surgery and was appointed as the personal surgeon to Emperor Napoleon III in 1866. This esteemed position further solidified his standing as one of the foremost surgeons of the time. During the Second Italian War of Independence, Dr. Nelaton's skills were put to the test when he was called upon to treat Garibaldi, who had been seriously injured during the Battle of Palermo. Despite the challenges of the battlefield and the critical condition of his patient, Dr. Nelaton performed a successful operation that saved Garibaldi's life. The photograph, taken circa 1860s, showcases Dr. Nelaton's distinguished appearance, with his neatly trimmed beard and serious expression.
