Charcot's tribute paid by his students. (A) Portrait of J.M. Charcot designed and engraved by Dr P. Richer ‘one of JM Charcot most distinguished students’ on the front page of the sixth edition of ‘Oeuvres complètes de JM Charcot’. The importance of Charcot’s international reputation is shown by the fact that, between 1874 and 1882, his ‘Leçons cliniques’ were translated into German, Russian, English, Italian, Magyar, and Spanish. (B) Charcot’s statue, which was melted down in 1942; the stone pedestal was removed in 1967. (C) Main entrance of the Hospice de la Salpêtrière (c. 1900) showing the statue of Charcot placed on the left.
