Guido Holzknecht

With radiologist Robert Kienböck (1871–1953), he was a co-founder of the Wiener Röntgengesellschaft (Vienna Radiology Society).

The family had commissioned Josephu to show missing fingers that Holzknecht had lost due to radiation poisoning.

Additionally, the signature on the restore statue read JosefHeu, who left Vienna during the War - misspelling the original artist's name.

[1] Like a number of other physicians in the early days of radiology, he died from the consequences of radiation poisoning in October 1931 aged 58.

[2] His name is included on the Monument to the X-ray and Radium Martyrs of All Nations erected in Hamburg, Germany in 1936.
