Caption:

Seen from the right lateral perspective, this 1975 photograph depicts a Bangladeshi patient’s neck and chest, which bore the maculopapular rash of a smallpox infection. At this point in the disease’s progress, the lesions had entered their later stages of development, beginning to crust over eventually forming scabs. The scabs would then be sloughed leaving in their wake, cutaneous scars in the form of numerous pockmarks.
