réf. 51-2639Murphys California: 1960s-1980s. About 60 letterpress flyers and other ephemera and metal type.Quyle started printing in the 1950s when he and his wife Joyce needed labels to put on items for sale in their Murphys shop. He acquired a simple hand press and set to work quickly realizing that the work activity was going to become a hobby that would morph into a passion.His press made in 1825 was for a time the oldest iron press in the United States until an acquaintance of Quyle’s found one that was one year older. Between the two printers and their presses hand-press scholars were able to solve what had been a mystery: The bar that pulls the press was attached to one side in 1825 and on the other side a year earlier so now it is known when that change was made.In addition to the Columbian Quyle had 27 other hand presses in storage. He is a member of the Moxon Chappel a group of printers who meet to share printing projects. Quyle has been a member for 35 years and said the group consists of amateurs and professionals who have held meetings all over the United States and in Egypt and Mexico.

1961réf. 683491961. Baltimore The William and Wilkins Company 1961 8° 80 pp. 18 Reels 1 Sawyers View Master Compact Vieter orig. cloth. First Edition! Dr John J. Joyce III of the Department of Orthopaedics and Dr. Michael Hartv of the Department of Anatomy in the Graduate School of Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania have been teaching graduate students Orthopaedic Surgery for ten years. Through their experience in coordinating surgery and anatomy they have produced a fresh concept of an atlas on surgical approaches. Their spirit of teaching represents that which has prevailed in the Graduate School of Medicine since its organization by Dr. George H. Meeker in 1916. At that time the era of medical specialization was in its inception. This usually meant that a group of physicians spent a few months observing the professor in the surgical amphitheater. The "students" were then awarded certificates designating them as "specialists." Because he appreciated the rapid progress that was being made in medicine Dr. Meeker felt that instruction in the basic sciences was essential to specialization. Hence for over forty years anatomy physiology biochemistry bacteriology and pathology have occupied at least half of the graduate medical students' curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to anatomical dissection the courses in surgical specialties include a course in operative surgery on the cadaver. In this book Dr. Joyce and Dr. Harty demonstrate the vital relationship between anatomy and surgical approaches. Their work is not just another atlas. It is not just a set of stereopticon pictures for arm chair study. The authors have diligently selected fresh speciemens for dissection. This has enhanced the realism of their color picture photographs of the specimens with small identifying labels attached to the anatomical structures facilitates the immediate orientation of the person viewing the pictures. The necessity of putting down a viewer to decode numbers or letters in a manual is thereby obviated. Finally the pictures are easily projected and can be viewed by a group. The book is a definite asset to everyone interested in practicing orthopaedic surgery." Foreword Jeese T. Nicholson Rare! hardcover
