Plates Illustrating the Female Reproductive Organs
Staplebound 12mo; 28, (4) pp. 29 illustrations of female anatomy printed in sepia ink with modest explanatory text providing basic information to women about their bodies and the stages of fetal development. Very Good with sunning to wraps, light bumping and corner crease throughout volume. Now identified as a supplement to Frank Lyman's staple of domestic medicine, "The Practical Home Physician," the rather anonymous publication reflects the taboo surrounding women's health education despite the growing awareness of its necessity.
