Abstract
It was attempted to identify published descriptions and reports of skeletal remains, figurines and paintings of suggested or supposed instance of Down Syndrome predating John Langdon Down's initial account of the condition in 1866. Artistic representation of malformation syndromes has been of ongoing interest, often as a point of departure for discussion of medical history.
