About this Item

First edition thus. A nice copy of this catalogue. The company had just received the Grand Prix at the Paris Exhibition of 1900, and the medal is shown to the front board. Clean green cloth, with gilt titles and decoration. This is a thick, heavy book (1345 pages) and the binding to the front hinge has become weakened. This has been repaired with archival tape, but is still delicate. There are eight photographic plates to the front of the catalogue, showing the factories of Down Brothers. Then are catalogued and described 8757 items of medical usage, with prices and for the majority with an engraved illustration. The pages are a little darkened, particularly to the page edges. An impressive catalogue of surgical instruments including aseptic hospital furniture and a large number of original models manufactured and sold by Down Bros. This is a library copy from the university of Montpelier, with small library stamps to each of the plates and the title page. 24.5cm x 17cm,.
