Vintage medical reference that was published in London by The Educational Book Company Ltd. and features contributions from a "distinguished group of general practitioners and specialists." Spanning two volumes with illustrations, it serves as a fascinating historical record of early 20th-century medical knowledge, surgery, psychology, and even veterinary practice. A standout feature is the inclusion of detailed anatomical plates and full-color illustrations intended for domestic guidance. The book is presented in a striking red and gold decorative binding with a faux-leather textured finish on the covers. The set is in good vintage condition, showing some light shelf wear to the edges and corners of the boards, while the interior remains remarkably clean with crisp pages and vibrant color plates. The bindings are secure, and the gilt lettering on the spines remains bright, making this a handsome and informative addition to a collector’s library or a study.
