**Originally Listed At $500**
North America, United States, Boston, ca. 1877 and 1882 CE. "Medical and Surgical Reports of the Boston City Hospital." Second Series. Edited by David W. Cheever, M.D. and F.W. Draper, M.D. Boston: published by the Board of Trustees, Rockwell and Churchill City Printers, 1877; "Medical and Surgical Reports of the Boston City Hospital." Third Series. Edited by David W. Cheever, M.D., Oliver F. Wadsworth M.D., and A.L. Mason, M.D. Boston: Published by the Board of Trustees, Press of Rockwell and Churchill, 1882. A fascinating pair of books detailing medical reports from the 19th century. Both include very early examples of the use of photography to document surgical results. Size (both about the same): 4.75" L x 1.5" W x 9" H (12.1 cm x 3.8 cm x 22.9 cm)
Citing the 1877 volume, surgical historian Ira Rutkow writes, "Cheever's work is important because of its early use of photographs. The wet process of making albumen photographs was time-consuming and required mounting actual photographs by hand. Two such photographs are part of an article by Cheever on excision of joints (pages 71-107)" (Rutkow, The History of Surgery in the United States 1775-1900. Volume 1, San Francisco 1988, GS69).
Provenance: from the medical library of Dr. Joel Goldstein, Denver, Colorado, USA. The Goldstein's have amassed their collection over the past six decades.
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
