Max Brödel Outline

Career
Carbon Dust Technique

As Brödel began his surgical drawings at Johns Hopkins Hospital, he was still been looking for a medium in his illustrations that could accurately represent the vividness of human tissue. He made his breakthrough experimenting with Ross Hand-Stippled Paper, and soon developed the carbon dust technique.

Personal Life

Max Brödel first met Ruth Marian Huntington (September 1, 1877 – January 20, 1959) in the fall of 1900 when she came to Hopkins Hospital as an illustrator for the Anatomy Department. Their relationship as fellow illustrators rapidly developed into a romantic one, and the couple were married on December 31, 1902. The following years brought two daughters, Elizabeth Huntington Brödel (born October 9, 1903) and Ruth Warner Brödel (born April 23, 1905). Ruth was to suffer from scarlet fever as a child and died on June 1, 1908. A new son and a third child, Carl Huntington Brödel (born June 7, 1908), followed within a week.
