Antique Medical Instruments

Received by 28 Aug 2019 in a good condition.

Thorough review on historical developments for various medical instruments , tools, and their major advances. Hard to read because it is all hand lettered.

I bought this book as reference material for the Steampunk medical doctor persona I am creating. I am very pleased with this book, and the information and images (sketches) contained within it. It has proven very educational and helpful in my endeavors, and I highly recommend it to others who are interested in antique medical devices.

The biggest problem with this book is that the only color photo that exists is the one on the cover. All other images are illustrations, which, for antique collectors, doesn't help much.Each instrument is well described as well as the evolution of that instrument from it's humble beginnings to the early 20th centurary.Color photos of the intruments would have been much more helpful and made the book more enjoyable.

Very good for the instruments reviewed. For a more complete compendium, a much larger book would be required.

Good drawings of medical equipment and their history. But not very informative for the collector.

Gives fantastic pictures and even more (unexpected) history of the instruments and designs. Very pleased with with book and highly recommend it.

Good reference guide to old medical instruments
