About This Item
Large collection of photographs and negatives of surgeries at several hospitals during the Second World War, taken by the medical student Andrew Quilliam (d. 2008), who would become lecturer in anatomy and embryology at University College London. Among the photographs are several showing three prominent female obstetricians and gynaecologists performing surgical operations: Josephine Barnes (1912-1999), Dr. Gertrude Dearnley (1884-1982), who founded the Fertility Clinic at the Royal Free Hospital in London (the first in London), and Gladys Dodds (1898-1982), who wrote the book Gynaecology for nurses (1946) and later worked in Hong Kong for the Family Planning Association. In one album all the photographs are captioned, mentioning the wide variety of operations that take place, often also mentioning the performing doctor. The negatives are inserted in two small albums, which open with a few pages mentioning briefly the content of the majority of the negatives.One album with most of its photographs removed (perhaps now included in the box with loose photographs). The loose photographs slightly curved. Otherwise in very good condition.
