Seller's Description:
New. Size: 8.5 x 8.5 x 0.6 inches; New and Unread. From the days of its colonial glory, Philadelphia has had an important place in the history of American health care. In Pictures of Health, Janet Golden and Charles E. Rosenberg have assembled a series of photographs which illuminate that history. The authors focus on such themes as the delivery of health care, the development of hospitals, the training of doctors and nurses, and community health. The pictures are visually arresting, unique, compelling, and sometimes even disturbing: the dissecting room of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in the 1880s; Dr. D. Hayes Agnew of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine performing a leg operation under the watchful eyes of a hundred medical students (this 1886 photograph may have been the model for Thomas Eakins's famous painting); a "homelike" delivery room, advertising that "Every facility of modern obstetrical and gynecological science is available for the new mother and her baby, " when the picture itself shows nothing at all homelike; patients at the Philadelphia Hospital for Mental Diseases, better known as the infamous Byberry; an 1894 operation at Pennsylvania Hospital with the surgeons wearing neither masks nor gloves; horse-drawn ambulances; the Bureau of Health Rat Receiving Station, offering a bounty of five cents for live rats and two cents for dead ones; Philadelphia trolleys emblazoned with oversized posters proclaiming "Spit Spreads Death, " part of the effort by the Philadelphia Board of Health to curb the 1918 outbreak of influenza; and over a hundred more photographs depicting the growth and development of Philadelphia medicine and its impact on the community. Pictures of Health makes a vital contribution to the field of American medical history, and it will be of interest to anyone involved in medical, social, or urban history. 197 pages.
