About This Item
Paris: by Ferra J. et L'Auteur,, 1824. Very Scarce First Edition. Illustrated with seven finely engraved large foldout plates illustrating both anatomy of the maladies and veterinary tools. Thick 8vo, in a handsome French binding of half black morocco over marbled boards, the spine gilt lettered, the original front and rear wrappers printed in black on green are bound in. x, 432 pp. A very pleasing and handsome copy of this scarce and important veterinary work, the text and plates essentially without flaw but for some very minor and occasional light spotting, the original wrappers a bit mellowed only, the binding very fine. A VERY IMPORTANT AND EARLY TREATISE ON VETERINARY OPHTHALMOLOGY. The paper was winner of the Médaille d’Or of the Société Royale at the meeting of 1823. One of the most famous of French Veterinarians, Leblanc was the first to apply the use of auscultation in animals. He was member of the Académie de Médecine and President of the Société de Médecine Vétérinaire de Paris.
