Showcasing pioneering photography techniques and documenting diseases, injuries, and anomalies, this used book in good condition offers a unique blend of art and medical history. Highly rated by enthusiasts, it’s a must-have for professionals and collectors eager to witness the evolution of medical science through compelling visual archives. ## Description The first book on the Mütter Museum contain artful images of the museum's fascinating exhibits shot by contemporary fine art photographers. Here, the focus is on the museum’s archive of rare historic photographs, most of which have never been seen by the public. Featured are poignant, aesthetically accomplished works ranging from Civil War photographs showing injury and recovery, to the ravages of diseases not yet conquered in the 19th century, to pathological anomalies, to psychological disorders. Many were taken by talented photographers between the 1860s and the 1940s as records for physicians to share among colleagues and to track patients’ conditions, and demonstrate various techniques used in medical photography including the daguerreotype, micrography, X ray, and traditional portrait-style photography. As visual documents of what humans endured in the face of limited medical knowledge, these extraordinary and haunting photographs demonstrate how far medicine has advanced. Review: Very graphic, but superb quality! - This book is amazing and informative! Some of the pictures are VERY GRAPHIC. The quality of the book, along with it's pages that a lot of reviewers seem to be complaining about, are top notch quality! Some of the print is very small. We're super happy with this purchase and highly reccomend this book for whoever's is intrested very bizarre and has dropping medical history! 5 stars PLUS!!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Review: Fascinating book - I’ve always been fascinated by historic medical photography, as well as the pathologies of all sorts of diseases and deformities. This book does a good job of showcasing many different illnesses pictorially and with accompanying text. My only grievances would be that the pictures are quite small compared to the size of the book, and I would enjoy learning more about each photo as some photos had very limited descriptions. The Mütter Museum has once again shown how diverse the nature of disease and deformities can be. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #331,005 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #156 in Photography Collections & Exhibitions (Books) #798 in Photograpy Equipment & Techniques #4,414 in U.S. State & Local History | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 474 Reviews | ## Images ![Mutter Museum: Historic Medical Photographs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51szxaSwvzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very graphic, but superb quality! *by P***S on December 17, 2021* This book is amazing and informative!
