1934réf. BK0141Los Angeles: Associated Press 1934. Original press photograph measuring approximately 9 x 7 inches. Typed press caption affixed to verso International News Photos stamp manuscript editorial markings. Excellent. A press photograph documenting an early women's airborne emergency medical organization in Los Angeles. The image shows members of a women's flying medical unit gathered beside an airplane during first aid maneuvers on July 9 1934. The unit brought together women interested in aviation and emergency medicine and trained its members to provide rapid medical assistance in the event of disasters and other national emergencies. The detailed original caption explains that the newly organized medical unit was a detachment of the Women's Air Reserves conducting its first maneuvers in Los Angeles intended "to prepare its members to render speedy and effective service in first aid work in times of disaster or national emergency." It identifies Lieut. Emma Kittredge standing as directing a first aid exercise beside the detachment's ambulance ship. The photograph provides a visual record of women's involvement in aviation organized emergency preparedness and medical training during the interwar period. . Associated Press unknown books
1823réf. BK0186Newport Rhode Island 1823. Autograph letter signed two pages on a folded sheet with integral address panel to Charles E. Dudley in Albany and Newport postal marking. 7 ¾ x 9 ½. Old folds some toning and minor wear. Very good. A candid letter from the young Newport physician Robert Crooke Wood then practicing in Utica asking advice about where to establish himself more permanently. Wood had graduated from Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1821 and practiced in Utica from 1821 to 1825. In May 1825 he entered the United States Army as an assistant surgeon beginning a forty-year military medical career that eventually brought him the rank of assistant surgeon general and a brevet as brigadier general. At the time of the present letter however his future remained unsettled. Wood was considering remaining in New York moving south to Edgefield South Carolina or trying his prospects in the West Indies: "I agree with you entirely in the opinion that for an ambitious young man Edgefield offers considerable advantages and as I before stated if all my friends were not so very much opposed to it particularly my own family I would either settle there or in the West Indies where I think the prospect is more flattering." He had discussed the question with Newport physician Edmund Thomas Waring a Charleston native and the son of a South Carolina planter. Waring's assessment of Southern practice was considerably more guarded: "I have had several conversations with Dr. Waring whose opinion I highly value respecting the Southern States - he is a South Carolinian and has several connexions who practice Medicine in his native state - from the expensive manner of living of those with whom a Physician must associate and from the necessity there is of accommodating yourself to the peculiar habits and feelings of your employers he is of opinion that even in a pecuniary point of view the Southern States do not present such advantages as some other portion of our extended country." Wood also asks for information concerning prospects in Utica recognizing that an established northern town offered greater competition but believing that obstacles there might be overcome through "patience and perseverance." An interesting early letter from a physician whose eventual career took a very different direction written at the point when he was still weighing the relative professional and financial attractions of New York South Carolina and the West Indies. . unknown books
1900réf. 50160N.p. Pittsburgh PA: s.i. 1900. Very Good. Pittsburgh PA: ca. 1900s or later. Large black and white original photograph previously mounted with "11 1/4 x 13" to verso 21x26cm. Residual glue and paper to top margin from where it was mounted with only minor intrusion into image and residual glue spots with mild abrasions to verso. Photo gently scuffed and rubbed at margins otherwise a crisp and Very Good example. Most likely taken at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine based on similar photographs of the same period. Almost everyone patient or student aims their gaze at the camera with a few notable exceptions like the two women subjected to uncomfortable looking cheek retractors. Most of the students wear white coats while the presumed instructors wear their regular suit jackets. Each station includes the student's dental chest filled with their tools a tray to lay their tools on and a pedal operated drill they would operate with their foot next to their potentially totally nervous subject. A surge of dental "proprietary" read: for-profit schools had flown through the states in the late 1880s and 90s though the quality of these schools did not necessarily match the quality you hope for and expect from someone cutting into your mouth. By the 1900s most of these schools had been closed which led to a need for more accredited institutions for aspiring dentists like the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. s.i. unknown books
1855réf. 1250181855. London: John Churchill 1855. Slim 8vo 77pp. 2 plates at the end then 28 pp. ads for Churchill's "Publications in Medicine Surgery and Science". Original green cloth hinges repaired at front and back cloth dull and backstrip with some wear. § First edition of the author's first book; presentation copy inscribed on the title-page by the author "With the Author's best complts" and a 4pp. mostly illegible ALs from the author to Dr. Long tipped in facing the title-page. A little known but apparently quite early and important study by this ophthalmic surgeon best known for his recognition of Laurence-Moon syndrome and his research on retinitis pigmentosa. The essay won the Liston prize for 1854. In the Journal of Ophthalmology for 1932 there is a long essay on Laurence who died at the age of 42 entitled "A Belated Tribute" by Arnold Sorsby pp. 727-740 with a bibliography of his writings. Laurence was a brilliant student and later ophthalmologist who founded the South London Ophthalmic Hospital now the Royal Eye Hospital. Among many other unrecognised achievements he was the first to describe macular degeneration. The tribute concludes: "the work that he started and did not see completed is today a living force. He has become an integral part of modern ophthalmology as founder of an important hospital as a pioneer in ophthalmic journalism and as one of the forerunners of that growing school of thought which correlates ocular defect with bodily structure."

réf. 44211Japan and Western Medicine. Oranda jin Geka ryoji no zu Dutch Surgery in Nagasaki. Original pen ink and watercolor drawing on light brown-toned silk with 4 vertical lines of Japanese characters in the upper left corner. Japan: late 18th or early 19th century. 483 x 363 mm. mounted as a scroll at a modern date on light grey silk backed with paper with a half-round hanging rail with braided ribbon attached at the top and a suspension bar at the foot measuring 914 x 443 mm. overall; preserved in a custom-made wooden box. A few tiny pinholes in upper corners of image but fine with the coloring fresh and bright. This striking image showing an amputation carried out by a Dutch surgeon in Japan was most likely painted in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century during Japan's self-imposed period of national isolation. The hand-painted image is related but by no means identical to a Nagasaki woodblock print titled "Surgery by a Dutch Physician" one of many popular souvenir prints depicting scenes unique to Nagasaki which at the time was the sole point of contact between Japan and the outside world. See our reproduction of the print. It may be that our scroll is the original of the image; however it is also possible that both hand-painted and woodcut versions of the image were produced simultaneously. Western surgery came to Japan in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries via the Portuguese who in 1543 became the first Europeans to make direct contact with Japan and the Dutch who became the only European nation allowed to trade with Japan after Japan's expulsion of the Portuguese in 1639. Surgeons attached to the Dutch East India Company established practices at the island of Dejima in Nagasaki Bay which led to the formation of several Japanese schools of surgery based on European methods. "This aspect of Western medicine known as K m -ry geka or 'Surgery of the Red-Haired' has had a profound effect on the development of surgical practice in Japan" Van Gulik p. 37.
