Very good copy with stunning colours. ---- EXCEPTIONALLY RARE FIRST AND ONLY EDITION of this atlas of ophthalmic pathology by one of the pioneers of medical photography, Arthur de Montméja, an ophthalmologist at Paris Hospital Saint Louis, who began photographing patients in 1865. Montmeja was the leading publisher of medical and ophthalmic photography. In 1870 he published, with ophthalmologist Edouard Meyer, the world's first surgical textbook Traité des Operations qui se Pratiquent sur l?Oeil with close-up photographs of surgeries. It concluded with an atlas of 22 photographs and photo-montages, taken by de Montméja as prints on albumen paper from collodion glass negative. It would be almost 30 years before a similar work was produced in any surgical field. - Visit our website to see more images!. N° de ref. del artículo 003884
