Full-Leather. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. CARPUE, Joseph Constantine (1764-1846). An Account of Two Successful Operations for Restoring a Lost Nose. London: Cox and Baylis for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown, 1816. 4° (285 x 218mm.) Stipple-engraved, colour-printed frontispiece and 4 plates, one etched [after Tagliacozzi] and 3 stipple-engraved by Charles Turner, 2 of which colour-printed, woodcut illustration. Half-title and errata leaf. (Repairs in the margins, occasional light soiling.) Modern morocco, by Roger Powell, conservation report pasted to the inside rear cover. Provenance: Melville Hospital, Chatham (library stamp on half-title). FIRST EDITION OF CARPUE'S CLASSIC OF PLASTIC SURGERY, and the most important work on reconstructive surgery since Tagliacozzi. Carpue's account 'represents more than any other book the beginning of modern plastic surgery. Tagliacozzi's treatise on making a nose from an arm flap, De Curtorum Chirurgia per insitionem (Venice: 1597), was an outstanding work, but the world was not ready for it. The condemnation of Tagliacozzi's operation by religious authorities resulted in almost complete cessation of its practice. Reconstructive surgery subsided into two more centuries of deep sleep' (McDowell). Carpue here describes procedures following the 'Hindu' technique of rhinoplasty (which employed a forehead flap) on two British Army officers. These accounts are introduced by a historical survey of both the 'Hindu' and the 'Taliacotian' methods. Carpue's work was translated into German and published in 1817 with a foreword by Carl von Graefe, the pioneer of rhinoplasty in Germany and developer of the 'German' method.

8vo. 1 page on bifolium. To a Sir Middlemass with a request for sending papers: "If you have any large papers be so good to send some for the Acton Omnibus [.]". - The London-born Carpue had come to surgery only in his thirties, having previously considered as professions acting, law, bookselling and a career in the Catholic clergy. He ran a private anatomy school on Dean Street and was associated to the St. George's Hospital and the Duke of York Hospital in Chelsea. A skilled surgeon, Carpue is known for performing the first rhinoplastic surgery in England, using a technique created in India several centuries earlier. - With traces of old mounting on the verso, slight brownstaining, and recipient's note.

8vo, pp. iv, 204, 4 engraved plates (3 large and folding, the first bound as a frontispiece and hand-coloured). Two tears in inner margin of one plate repaired. Modern boards as the original, uncut and largely unopened. Presentation copy, inscribed on a blank leaf before the title: ?Robt Keate Esqre from his Friend, J.C. Carpue:?; then inscribed at the top of the title: ?For St Georges Hospital library from R. Keate 1836?, and with the St. George?s stamp on the title and backs of the plates. FIRST EDITION. G&M 4288. Carpue gives a history of both the lateral and the high operations, from a careful and methodical study of the literature. In the appendix he quotes everything that Franco (1556) wrote on the subject. He then gives an account of the high operation, which had become obsolete. ?Carpue popularized suprapubic lithotomy, a procedure not often previously carried out? (G&M). The first plate shows a diagram of the operation, and the others are of instruments. Robert Keate (1777?1857) was the nephew of the surgeon Thomas Keate and surgeon to St. George?s Hospital in London for forty years.

With a Foreword and Biography by Frank McDowell, M.D., SC.D. - The Classics of Medicine Library, Birmingham, 1981, 4°, XII, 1 Bl., 32 pp., 2 Bl., 6 Abbildungen; II, 132 pp., 1 Bl., 5 farblith. Taf.,; 2 Bl., goldgeprägter Ganzledereinband. This special edition "the first cases of Indian rhinoplasties in Europe" has been privately printed from an original edition of 1816 furnished to the Publisher courtesy of the Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine. The paper was especially made for this edition by the Curtis Paper Company. The volume has been bound in genuine top grain cowhide by the Tapley-Rutter-Company, Bookbinders. Edges are gilded, and covers are brass die stamped in 22-karat gold. Cover stampings and design of the edition by Daniel B. Bianchi and Selma Ordewer. "In October, 1814 and January, 1815, Joseph Constantine Carpue (4 May 1764 - 30 January 1846) had performed the first rhinoplastic operations in Europe in modern times, using the forehead flap of the Indian method. In his book describing these operations, Carpue gives careful and detailed consideration to the Italian or Tagliacotian procedure, as well as to the Indian method and the doctrine of adhesion and the physiological processes involved. The book represents a landmark in the development of medicine, both as a record of Carpue's surgical achievement and as a classic in the history of plastic surgery. Carpue's Account was immediately translated into German, and a French edition was said to be ready for publication in 1819, although no record exists of its ever having been published. Our edition of this celebrated medical classic is distinguished, we believe, in several ways. First, it is an exact facsimile-the first ever done-of the very rare and now very expensive first English edition of 1816, which is particularly enhanced by the color engravings of the famous English mezzotint portraitist, Charles Turner. Secondly, also included is the English translation of the foreword to the German edition of Carpue's book by his contemporary, Carl F. von Graefe. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, our edition includes a new biography and evaluation of Carpue especially prepared for this edition by the leading modern authority in the history of plastic surgery, Frank McDowell, who in addition to his many professional accomplishments is the Editor-in-Chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery."
