Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Burns is an ophthamlic surgeon, but his true passion is vintage photography. He has assembled a collection of more than half a million images and has authored or coauthored works on memorial photography, medical photography, and hand-colored daguerreotypes. Here he presents 127 images in as many pages and then another 50 or so pages of notes, providing specifics of the photographs and extensive discussion of the condition or medical practices shown. More than a few gruesome images are included, though the warm tones of the printing and the antique dress have an anesthetizing effect on the viewer. There are also a good number of images depicting obsolete mid-19th-century practices. The chronological arrangement does impart a sense of progress as we move from images of horrible deformity through pictures of amputation during the Civil War to photos of reparative surgery following World War I. This stunning documentation of a world-class collection belongs not only where there is an interest in the history of photography but also in medical teaching and history collections.?Eric Bryant, "Library Journal"

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is simply a wonderful book. Filled with old photographs depicting human oddities and early medical procedures, it presents a unique glimpse into a time not too long past. The photo from which the title is taken is a work of art unto itself, as are most of the images in this tome. I never tire of paging through this collection, seeming to find something new every time. While some images may be disturbing, the uniqueness of each and every photo makes this book a must have for devotees of human oddities, as well as aficionados of early photography.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is by far one of the best books out there depicting photographs of human anomalies, surgical procedures and things of the like during the early 20th century. If each picture is worth a thousand words, then this book could be an encyclopedia. A must buy for every person interested in human abnormalities. Not for the easily squeemish!

An uncommon window into the medically abnormal
30. Dezember 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book of stunning, yet disturbing, photographs of medical anomalies spanning 100 years from the mid-19th c., may not be for everyone. It is a comprehensive visual essay into things that we find fascinating, yet repulsive. Unlike a carnival sideshow, however, the purpose of this wonderful book is not to cynically trivialize the individuals illustrated. Like the Mütter Museum, (Mütter Museum: Philadelphia College of Physicians, 19 South 22nd Street, between Chestnut and Market Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-4pm, Sun 12-4pm), Stanley Burns' book is a window into the 19th century propensity to gather esoteric information of all types, organize it and, ultimately, to exhibit it as the means to greater knowledge.

A compendium of extraoridinary photographs!

This is by far one of the best books out there depicting photographs of human anomalies, surgical procedures and things of the like during the early 20th century. If each picture is worth a thousand words, then this book could be an encyclopedia. A must buy for every person interested in human abnormalities. Not for the easily squeemish!
