About This Item
Birmingham, Alabama; The Classics of Medicine Library / Gryphon Editions Ltd.; 1981.. Special Limited Facsimile Edition; Demy 4to; pp. xvi, 32, xii,104, (1); marbled endpapers, frontispiece portrait, 6 b/w. text illustrations, 2 full page colour plates and 2 full page b/w. plates, bibliography, appendix, errata slip, bound in full red leather, raised bands, title lettered in gilt on spine, gilt stamped decoration to spine and boards, all edges gilt, original silk page marker, fine copy. Together with the publishers 8 page booklet titled "Notes From The Editor". This edition is distinguished in several ways. First, it is an exact facsimile - the first ever done - of this 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, the English translation of the foreword to the German edition of Carpue's book by his contemporary, Carl F. Von Graefe, is also included. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this 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.
