Extremely Rare Complete Set of the New Sydenham Societys Atlas of Illustrations of Pathology (fascicules I XIII) and its continuation, An Atlas of Illustrations of Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Pathology. (fascicules XIV XXVII). Published over 30 years, it is nearly impossible to find a complete set of this work; this is the first one we have ever handled.
The guiding spirit behind both Atlases was Sir Jonathan Hutchinson, general secretary of the New Sydenham Society, and the Victorian / Edwardian eras foremost authority on dermatology and syphilis. Hutchinson was a multi-dimensional medical genius, whose accomplishments have yet to be equaled. He worked in London from 1851 to 1883 as a surgeon, dermatologist, neurologist and ophthalmologist, as well as being the first outstanding syphilologist (Löser et al., p. 506). Hutchinson was the author of over 1200 medical articles, many of which included classic descriptions of dermatological and syphilitic conditions such as arsenical keratoses, Hutchinsons triad (associated with late congenital syphilis), lentigo maligna, hydroa vacciniforme, genital herpes and infective angioma (for further details see the ten entries for Hutchinson in Garrison-Morton.com).
