Monographien zur deutschen Kulturgeschichte, herausgegeben von G. Steinhausen
A volume from Georg Steinhausen's illustrated series of German cultural-history monographs, published in Leipzig in 1899 for educated general readers, here covering medicine, surgery and apothecary practice. The plates reproduce sixteenth-century woodcuts by Jost Amman and others: stone-cutting operations, bloodletting, clyster syringes, distilling sheds and herb gardens, with strapwork borders, hatched linework and captioned German letterpress.
