The 19th century saw a whole transformation of the practice and reputation of surgery. This fascinating book follows its an increasing number of optimistic evolution, drawing on the easiest examples of rare surgical textbooks, with a focal point at the unusual visual materials, held by the Wellcome Collection. Unnerving and graphic, yet beautifully rendered, these fascinating illustrations come with step by step surgical techniques paired with medical instruments and painted depictions of operations in progress. Arranged for the layman from head to toe, and accompanied by an authoritative, eloquent and galvanizing narrative from medical historian Richard Barnett, that is an engrossing and enlightening volume.
