Delineations of Cutaneous Diseases, 53. - London, Henry G. Bohn, 1817 (1849), 1 hand colored engraved plate, 246 x 242 mm, added a descriptive text leaf. RUPIA simplex. All the forms of this eruption are connected with a cachectic state of the constitution, and some of them, like the one here figured, are accompanied by symptoms resembling those produced by a morbific poison. It will be seen that they differ from the Ecthymata in the form and size of the eruption, and in the colour and consistence of the contained fluid, consisting, in fact, of flattened muddy vesicles, and forming a larger and more circular scab. "In 1814 Bateman acquired the copyright to the engravings in the Willan treatise. He arranged to have the plates refurbished, replaced a few, added to them a completely new set of engravings depicting the later Genera, which had never before been illustrated.".
