Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Human Blood-Vessels in Health and Disease: A Supplement
The illustrations are original the camera lucida was used in mak ing all of them, and the steel etchings were drawn directly upon the metal without the use of an intermediate sketch. The artists exer cised their best skill and have succeeded in producing faithful repre sentations of nature. I learned in the course of my work not to give them much advice or detailed directions. Many of the illustra tions in medical books are no more than diagrams, and this Ithink is because the artists are too much restricted in drawing objects that they themselves sometimes feel they do not understand. As they are not given sufficient scope, they fail to reproduce that which they see, as they must all try to do in portrait or landscape work. Mr. Hermann Faber made the etchings and the pictures in color, and the black and white illustrations reproduced by photographic process are by Mr. Erwin F. Faber.
