title: The "Three Mayos" photograph: its origin and significance.
abstract: Until recently, little was known regarding the famous "Three Mayos" photograph. New findings are herein described, which demonstrate that this photograph was taken by Dr. Harvey Cushing in 1905 at the site of Dr. Henry Plummer's first Rochester, Minnesota home. These new findings make this photograph even more historically significant as a tangible symbol of the friendship that existed between four of this country's greatest surgeons.
