Product Description
Book Description
There is a popular belief that the British army surgeons of the early nineteenth century were the worst exponents of a profession which itself was regarded as being permeated by men who, rather than being life-savers, were more akin to butchers. In this superb book we discover that army surgeons in Wellington’s army were highly skilled men, capable of performing very complicated operations on men who had suffered the sorts of wounds never seen by professional surgeons at home. These beautiful, though somewhat disturbing, watercolours demonstrate how difficult these operations â€" the majority of which were successful â€" often were. A Surgical Artist at War is a fine tribute to outstanding and dedicated men.
From the Publisher
The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is very proud of its collection of the wonderful paintings of Sir Charles Bell. Visitors to the College Museum are always entranced by the subject, the accuracy and the ability to depict the overall effects of war wounds.
Captain P Starling and Mr M Crumplin are to be congratulated not only on drawing together this wonderful collection but also providing a modern commentary. The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh is delighted to endorse and support this publication, which should be of major interest to all surgeons no matter what their specialty or experience may be.
