Catalogs have always performed several roles in the trades and societies they have served and purveyed goods into.First of all, catalogs educated us as to the current state of the art in commercially available goods. Second, they raise our expectations when we see new goods, ideas, designs, tools, and the methods or lifestyles that they imply or denote.Third, the stimulate us to look to create new methods, ideas, protocols, lifestyles, tools, and technologies or designs of our own. Fourth, they are both time capsules and travel guides to the past and the present in their respective régimes or areas of focus. They take us to exotic places and people and ideas we would never have encountered in our own lives or professional practices or work or schools and they show us the progression of others ideas from the old tools or products offered, to the newest and most progressive ones. Catalogs are the things dreams are made of, sometimes in plebian and profane ways as we covet what we see in them, and sometimes in the most elevated and profound and spiritually and intellectually inspiring ways as we see possibilities to evolve the future in most wondrous ways.
This catalog is a time capsule, a time travel machine, a “Mr. Peabody’s Way-back Machine” to take us back in time to yesteryear where we can see what state of the art and its precedent history and tools were.This surgical catalog was the premier catalog and surgical tools reference at its time for America, and as such reflects the medical practice and thinking of the time.Invaluable for historians, it is also a fascinating glimpse with its excellent illustrations and explanations, as to how thought was at the time in medicine and society about medicine and surgery. Excellent illustrations of every instrument and superb explanations make this still a useful surgical tool review.
The diversity of instruments included represent nearly every single instrument of every kind of every purpose available at the time.
This is the second edition of Dr. WM Hatteroth’s Surgical Catalogue who in 1869 at this time of publication claimed 42 years of serving the medical profession in America out of their facility on Powell Street in San Francisco.
A wonderful read and one that is an education for every medical student or nurse, and a fascinating one for historians, and just plain fun and amazing for the rest of us! Enjoy this one, whether a collector of these wondrous instruments or a surgeon the beautiful illustrations and explanations will leave you impressed, indeed.
