Beschreibung:
Davis, David D. (1777-1841). Elements of operative midwifery . . . [8], 345, [3]pp. 20 double-page lithographed plates by G. Scharf after various artists, including William Clift, printed mostly, probably all, by Hullmandel. London: Hurst, Robinson . . . , 1825. 286 x 225 mm. (uncut). Modern cloth. Some foxing and toning, fore-edges a bit frayed, marginal tears in some plates repaired. A few pencil annotations in the margins. Good to very good. Modern bookplate. First Edition. Davis's Elements of Operative Midwifery introduced a number of improvements in instruments and techniques: "It outlines rules and precautions for undertaking operations, described the use of various forms of forceps, and provided twenty detailed plates, [some of them] illustrating techniques of craniotomy using the crochet and Denman's perforator" (Woods, p. 138). Davis was appointed Royal Accoucheur in 1819, and attended the Duchess of Kent when she gave birth to the future Queen Victoria. He was the first to state that phlegmasia alba dolens (deep vein thrombosis in pregnancy) is due to inflammation of the veins (1823, Garrison-Morton.com 6273). Davis's Midwifery is beautifully illustrated with double-page lithographed plates of the highest quality, and is an early example of lithography in medical illustration. The pioneering firm of Hullmandel printed most if not all of the plates; some are after drawings by William Clift, who was associated with the Hunters and did the illustrations for Baillie's pathology atlas. R. Woods, Death before Birth: Fetal Health and Mortality in Historical Perspective, pp. 138-139. . Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 51611
