Description: The title in English is Memory Aid - Surgery and Childbirth Practitioner's Guide. There are 418 illustrations of surgical and ob/gyn procedures in 1872. It would be another decade or more before gloves were worn during surgery, so the images depict surgery performed with bare hands and in long-sleeved shirts - definitely unsettling! In addition to images of common surgical procedures of the day ( a LOT of amputations, early vertical c-sections) , there are detailed engravings of wooden splints, intricate leg braces and the latest in surgical instruments. This book will fascinate anyone interested in the history of surgery and obstetrics. Although the book is in French, the hundreds of remarkable images need no translation. *Be warned: the images are very graphic and not suitable for children or the faint of heart.
