186720057Washington: Government Printing Office 1867. FIRST EDITIONS. First work with 178 figures; second with 5 photographic plates; third with 1 plate and errata slip. 5 heliotype plates and 1 engraved plate. Contemporary half morocco over boards worn on edges all edges marbled; a portion of pages 323/324 of first section torn away affecting text though a photocopy is included otherwise interior excellent. First editions of these three catalogues. The catalogue of the surgical section was edited by Alfred Woodhull 1837-1921. J.J. Woodward 1833-1884 edited the medical section and Edward Curtis 1838-1912 edited the microscopical section. Thousands of specimens are described nearly all the aftermath of the Civil War. Mostly human specimens the name and rank of the donor is noted as well as a brief summary of the context in which the injury or illness leading to death or amputation occurred. The catalogues also include comprehensive collections of surgical instruments medical artifacts including prosthetics and battlefield medical supplies and historical documents related to military medicine.<br /> <br /> The surgical section contains descriptions of over 4700 specimens “varying from cranium to tumors graphically detailing the wounds suffered by thousands of soldiers during the Civil War. The attending physician’s name is listed with each case. Many of these descriptions are specifically related to injuries which are further enumerated in the Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion†Rutkow. That catalogue is also significant because it is “the first publication that actually gives an idea as to the number and type of photographs taken by or for army physicians†during the war Burns. The third part contains a plate depicting an “Apparatus for Microphotography†and five plates depicting photographs of tissue specimens taken with this apparatus. The editors of the second and third parts Edward Curtis and Joseph Woodward performed the autopsy on Abraham Lincoln. Curtis was an early pioneer of photomicrography. <br /> <br /> The Army Medical Museum was founded in 1862 by U.S. Army Surgeon General William A. Hammond as a center for the collection of specimens for research in military medicine and surgery. Hammond directed medical officers in the field to collect "specimens of morbid anatomy.together with projectiles and foreign bodies removed" and to forward them to the newly founded museum for study. During and after the war Museum staff took pictures of wounded soldiers showing the effects of gunshot wounds as well as results of amputations and other surgical procedures. The information collected was compiled into six volumes of The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion published between 1870 and 1883.<br /> <br /> Burns Early Medical Photography in America 1839-1883 New York 1983; Rutkow.

1909224671909. Soldier Harold Howard's person documentaation of service in the 11th U.S. Cavalry during the period of American military occupation and intervention in Cuba following the Spanish American War. These photographs place an enlisted cavalryman within the broader framework of U.S. expansionist policy in the Caribbean under the Platt Amendment when American troops were repeatedly deployed to Cuba to oversee political stability infrastructure and economic interests. The archive includes identified images of Sgt. Harold Howard and captures both formal military organization and informal daily life offering a ground-level record of U.S. cavalry presence during a period of continued occupation and reintervention including the second U.S. occupation of Cuba from 1912 to 1913.<br /> <br /> Archive of nine vintage silver gelatin photographs ranging approximately from 3.5 x 5 inches to 10 x 13 inches many mounted to original photographer boards and some annotated in ink or pencil. Two large-format formal group portraits depict Troop K 11th U.S. Cavalry at Fort Oglethorpe Georgia 1913 showing soldiers in full dress uniform arranged in tiered formation with visible regimental flag marked "11" and "K" with Howard identified in one image. Smaller photographs include a group portrait of U.S. cavalrymen in Pinar del Río Cuba dated 1908 showing soldiers in campaign dress posed near a stable as well as candid camp scenes featuring cooking areas barracks life and assembled troops. Two photo postcards function as personal correspondence with handwritten messages from Howard dated April 1 and September 9 1913 addressed to Mrs. A. L. Howard in Maine referencing weather conditions and upcoming exhibition drills providing direct evidence of mobility and routine within cavalry service. Additional images include a cabinet card of two uniformed soldiers and a scene depicting Black Cuban civilians posed near a thatched structure situating U.S. military presence within local social environments.<br /> <br /> Taken together the archive documents the lived experience of a U.S. cavalryman operating within the infrastructure of American imperial policy in the Caribbean linking domestic military bases such as Fort Oglethorpe with overseas deployment in Cuba. The photographs record both the formal visual culture of the U.S. Army and the everyday conditions of enlisted service while the inclusion of Cuban subjects and locations underscores the entanglement of military occupation with local populations. General edge wear throughout with occasional pinholes adhesive remnants and minor chipping to mounts; some toning to boards. Photographs remain clear and stable with annotations legible. Overall very good condition. unknown
