Obstetric Forceps Its History and Evolution by (Sir Kedarnath Das), Originally Published by The Art Press Calcutta, 1929. Bound in the publisher's green cloth with black title label spine with gilt lettering and accompanying slipcase (Very Good Facsimile Edition)
Originally published in 1929, this book details the history and evolution of obstetric forceps, referring to English, French, German, Latin, Danish, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Russian and Japanese sources. This facsimile edition has been reproduced using modern printing techniques. Portraits of Hippocrates, Avicenna, Ambroise Pare, Mauriceau, Smellie, Levret, Simpson and Tarnier are included, together with illustrations of the instruments, which have, wherever possible, been reproduced from their original sources. The inventors' original descriptions of instruments have been used, and notes on their lives and works have been provided. Alban Doran's "Descriptive catalogue of the obstetrical instruments in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England", published in the "Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the British Empire" in 1921, has also been included. This work should be of interest to obstetricians, midwives and medical historians.
“I bought one of Room Four's antique anatomical prints for my study and it's become the first thing visitors notice. The detail is incredible, the print quality is razor-sharp, and it has that perfect blend of science, history and art. It looks like something you'd find in a private medical library.”

★★★★★ Exactly the dark-academic look I wanted
“I've spent years trying to find vintage anatomy artwork that doesn't look cheap or overproduced. Room Four absolutely nailed it. The print feels authentic, beautifully reproduced, and gives the room that museum-meets-curiosity-cabinet atmosphere I was after.”
Jason, London
★★★★★ Never disappointed
“Every visit to Room Four when I'm in Glasgow is a highlight. As someone who works closely with anatomy every day, I have high standards for this kind of artwork — and they always deliver. Beautifully curated, authentic pieces that you simply won't find anywhere else.”
Claire, Mortician
