An account is given of the development of early dermatologic iconography, mostly in watercolors and copper prints, as a consequence of late Enlightenment perspectives and the development of a visually-dependent concept in a text-dominated discipline of dermatology. The first great atlases in the field of dermatology by Robert Willan (1757-1812) and Jean-Louis Alibert (1768-1837), and by M. N. Devergie (1784-1842) in venereology, are addressed and Willan's work is elaborated in detail.
