Bernard Roth. The Treatment of Lateral Curvature of the Spine, with Appendix on The Treatment of Flat-Foot. (London: H. K. Lewis, 1889). 56 p., [4] plates with mounted Woodburytypes (two with 3 images each, and two with one each, of the same young girl); 15 text illus. + 32 p. of publisher's advertisements.
Plates with 3 images show "Photographs taken the same day previous to the commencement of treatment;" plates with one images each show the patient in the "key-note" posture & a 7 year old girl with severe osseous lateral curvature of the spine. An excellent copy of a rare work with extraordinarily beautiful Woodburytypes. Exterior bright; only the smallest of wear, to the tips and top and bottom of spine. Bevelled edges. Former owner's bookplate. Very good.
