‎DOWN BROS. Ltd.‎
‎Catalogue of Surgical Instruments & Appliances ‎

‎London Down Bros. Ltd 1900 Première édition. Bel exemplaire de ce catalogue. La société venait de recevoir le Grand Prix à l'Exposition universelle de Paris en 1900, et la médaille est représentée sur la couverture. Reliure en toile verte propre, avec titres et décorations dorés. Il s'agit d'un livre épais et lourd (1345 pages) dont la reliure au niveau du rabat avant s'est affaiblie. Elle a été réparée à l'aide de ruban adhésif d'archivage, mais reste fragile. Huit planches photographiques au début du catalogue montrent les usines de Down Brothers. Viennent ensuite 8757 articles à usage médical, catalogués et décrits, avec leurs prix et, pour la plupart, une illustration gravée. Les pages sont un peu noircies, en particulier sur les bords. Un catalogue impressionnant d'instruments chirurgicaux, comprenant du mobilier hospitalier aseptique et un grand nombre de modèles originaux fabriqués et vendus par Down Bros. Il s'agit d'un exemplaire provenant de la bibliothèque de l'université de Montpellier, avec de petits tampons de bibliothèque sur chacune des planches et la page de titre. 24,5 cm x 17 cm.‎

‎First edition thus. A nice copy of this catalogue. The company had just received the Grand Prix at the Paris Exhibition of 1900, and the medal is shown to the front board. Clean green cloth, with gilt titles and decoration. This is a thick, heavy book (1345 pages) and the binding to the front hinge has become weakened. This has been repaired with archival tape, but is still delicate. There are eight photographic plates to the front of the catalogue, showing the factories of Down Brothers. Then are catalogued and described 8757 items of medical usage, with prices and for the majority with an engraved illustration. The pages are a little darkened, particularly to the page edges. An impressive catalogue of surgical instruments including aseptic hospital furniture and a large number of original models manufactured and sold by Down Bros. This is a library copy from the university of Montpelier, with small library stamps to each of the plates and the title page. 24.5cm x 17cm,.‎
