Isbn: 9780930405700 - american surgical instruments: the history of their manufacture and a directory of instrument makers to 1990 (norman surgery series, no. 9) (1 Ergebnisse)

1st edition. With over 300 illustrations, including 27 color plates, this is the first comprehensive history and directory of the American surgical instrument trade prior to 1900 and it provides a wealth of information never before available. Though a great deal is known about the practice of surgery and the men who performed it in colonial and nineteenth-century America, very little is known about the makers and dealers who provided the tools for these great practitioners. Dr. Edmonson has created a much-needed resource for historians, curators, and instrument collectors alike. xi, 352 pp. 307 illus., 27 in color. 8 1/2" 11". Index. Cloth, dust jacket, acid-free paper.
