Summary: Regarded as one of the finest pathological atlases ever produced. Contains "the first illustration (in colour) of the brain in general paralysis of the insane showing atrophy." Robert Carswell (1793-1857), professor of pathology at University College, London, was commissioned by the university to prepare a collection of pathological drawings. Between 1828 and 1831 Carswell completed 2,000 watercolors of diseased structures, from which he furnished the illustrations for his Pathological Anatomy. Illustrations of the Elementary Forms of Disease. It was the first great color-plate atlas of pathology published in English. The beautiful hand-colored lithographed plates, which Carswell drew on the stone himself, include good representations of post-mortem digestion of the stomach, cirrhosis of the liver, dry gangrene of the toes, endocarditis, and tuberculosis of the lungs and intestine.--J.
