1937187971937. Mixed media on paper. Exquisite drawing of a 1930s concept car.<br/> <br/>The old established Willoughby firm of Utica New York had a reputation for conservative quality coachwork in 1930 when Viennese born Hoffmann was hired as draghtsman/designer. He quickly moved the company's design philosophy to the forefront of the streamline school translating traditional luxury car body types such as this touring car into the modern idiom. Willoughby designed bodies for all the major luxury car firms. We have attributed this drawing to Hoffman on the basis of a very similar drawing of the period that was acquired in 1985 from Hoffmann's widow clearly done by the same hand and exhibiting the same exquisite touch and sense of proportion. unknown books

A treatise on the electrographic examination of the heart especially regarding heart irregularities. Hoffman is included in George Edward Burch and Nicholas Paul De Pasquale A History of Electrocardiography 1964 and "Great Men of Electrocardiography" Chapter III pp. 82-3 "he made many early contributions to the understanding of clinical electrocardiology.". "August Hoffmann was born in MUnster on 2 June 1862. In 1891 he set up his medical practice in DUsseldorf as specialist for internal medicine and neurology. There in 1907 he became first professor in ordinary for internal medicine when the Academy for Practical Medicine was founded. Up to 1927 he was head of the medical clinic. On 17 February 1929 he died in DUsseldorf. At first Hoffmann used the X-rays which were discovered in 1895 for the heart diagnostics above all for the determination of the size of the heart. A general notoriety he obtained by publication of the monography about the paroxysmal tachycardia type Bouveret-Hoffmann in 1900. After the preliminary works of Einthoven he belonged to the first German clinicians who dealt with electrocardiography above all problems of arrhythmia. In 1914 he published the second ECG-book in German language. Hoffmann founded the Dusseldorf cardiologic tradition." – NCBI. See: The Evan Bedford Library of Cardiology 522 571. J. F.
