About the Author
In 1931, the year this book was first published in German, its author Jacques Joseph (1865-1934) stood at the pinnacle of his profession. Possessing an outstanding reputation, he had attracted for more than a decade, an international clientele and fee-paying students to his Berlin clinic.
Josephs reputation was deserved; he was skillful and innovative, his experience vast: he had performed orthopedic surgery during his early years in practice (p. 824), in 1898 he had introduced in Europe internal instead of external incisions for rhinoplasty [apparently unaware of Roes priority in using this technique in the United States (pp. 82-83)], and in his lifetime had performed more rhinoplasties in this fashion than perhaps any other surgeon in the world, he directed the Division of Facial Plastic Surgery of the Charité Hospital, Berlin (1916-1921) where he reconstructed enormous numbers of facially-wounded soldiers of World War I [like his contemporaries, Gillies (p. 650) in England and Blair (p. 669) in the United States], and for the last thirteen years of his life he maintained a busy practice primarily in aesthetic plastic surgery.
The times in 1931 were turbulent: economic depression gripped the world, in Germany Nazism was on the rise. In 1934, Joseph died in Berlin at the age of 69, apparently of a coronary. Most of the 1500 copies that were printed of his book disappeared as did most of the Jewish community of which Joseph was a part.
Incredibly, Josephs reputation survived, probably because of the many instruments he devised for rhinoplasty which still bear his name and also because the writings of some of his former students, namely Safian and Aufricht, accord him much honor.
However, the extent of Josephs contributions have been largely unappreciated by English-speaking surgeons who now constitute a majority in the world. I hope that this English translation will serve the world-wide audience which I feel Joseph, himself, desired and deserves. (From Stanley Milstein's "Translators Introduction," p. iii)
