Oscar G. Mason (1830 - March 16, 1921), better known as O. G. Mason, was an American photographer and radiographer. For most of his professional life, O. G. Mason directed the photographic department of Bellevue Hospital in New York City. He retired from this position in 1906. His most notable photographs, such as the "Bellevue Venus"[1], a portrait of a woman with elephantiasis, were published in the photographic dermatology atlases written by George Henry Fox.
