Delineations of Cutaneous Diseases, 68. - London, Henry G. Bohn, 1817 (1849), 1 hand colored engraved plate, 246 x 242 mm, added a descriptive text leaf. ELEPHANTIASIS. This hideous disease is fortunately never seen in this country, except in a few individuals, natives or residents of more southern climates. This was the first case that had occurred to my notice, and I am indebted to the kindness and liberality of my friend, Mr. Lawrence, for the opportunity of procuring this excellent representation of the disease, as it appeared in the boy, Charles Uncle, a patient in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, whose case has been detailed by Mr. Lawrence, in the sixth volume of the Medico-Chirurgical Trans-actions, for the year 1815. The engraving here given is an exact portrait of that individual, after the tubercles had been rendered a little smoother than they originally appeared by the application of poultices. "In 1814 Bateman acquired the copyright to the engravings in the Willan treatise. He arranged to have the plates refurbished, replaced a few, added to them a completely new set of engravings depicting the later Genera, which had never before been illustrated.".
