1938réf. 165001938. Jeffrey Mary Pauline. Dr. Ida: India The Life Story of Ida S. Scudder 1938. Signed biography of American physician and medical missionary Ida Sophia Scudder 1870-1960 who established hospitals and medical training programs for women in colonial India. Born in India to American missionary parents Scudder pursued medicine after witnessing the consequences of restrictions preventing Indian women from receiving treatment from male physicians. In 1899 she graduated from Cornell Medical College as a member of its first graduating class to include women returning to India in 1900 to establish a small clinic in Vellore. Within two years she had founded the Mary Taber Schell Memorial Hospital which developed into a major center for women's medical treatment and professional training. Her subsequent establishment of a nursing school in 1909 and the Union Mission Medical School for Women in 1918 expanded opportunities for Indian women to enter the medical profession. Jeffrey Mary Pauline. Dr. Ida: India The Life Story of Ida S. Scudder. New York: Fleming H. Revell Company 1938. Signed and inscribed by the author on the front endpaper. 212 pages with a frontispiece portrait and 18 additional illustrations throughout. Original blue cloth boards measuring 8 x 6 inches. Jeffrey recounts Scudder's upbringing in a missionary family her medical education in the United States and her return to India to establish healthcare facilities for women who faced religious and social restrictions on treatment by male physicians. The biography traces the expansion of her work from a small rural clinic into a hospital and medical training institution documenting her efforts to provide both medical care and professional education for Indian women. Published in 1938 while Scudder remained active in the administration of her medical institutions the biography records the development of women's medical education in British India before independence. Her work at Vellore addressed both the shortage of female physicians and the restrictions that prevented many Indian women from seeking treatment while establishing training opportunities for Indian women in nursing and medicine. The author's inscription distinguishes this copy and the illustrations provide additional contemporary documentation of Scudder's life and medical work. A few pages contain ink corrections or annotations. Very good condition. unknown

1730réf. ABC_47423Augsburg 1730. 86 x 59 cm. Copperplate engraving. A grand engraving commemorating the achievements of the August Protestant Church in India features various scenes and elements. In the background there are mountains palm trees houses and people including a Chinese person. The foreground shows deciduous and palm trees with a lit grotto holding an idol inscribed with "Brama". In front of the grotto an evangelical missionary preaches to a large congregation of natives while holding a book of music in his left hand and pointing to Brama with his right hand. The missionary wears a turban a priest's cloak and has flappers. The audience under the hill is depicted in interesting groups with some closer to us appearing larger and clearer. At the bottom of the engraving there is an art altar with several books including the "Biblia Malabarica" "Catechism Malabaricus" and the hymnal "Liber Cantion. Malabar." The engraving was made by the German engraver painter draughtsman and art publisher Johann Elias Ridinger 1698-1767. He trained in Ulm and Augsburg under Christoph Resch and Johann Falch and learned engraving from Georg Philipp Rugendas. Ridinger later spent three years in Regensburg where he developed his style through coursing and visits to the riding school. His ornamental works show Rococo stylistic tendencies and he founded his own publishing house in Augsburg. His precise and tasteful drawings were highly regarded and transferred to decoration porcelain and ceramics.With two minor tears one partly repaired the other one not affecting the engraving.
