This antique book is the perfect gift for that special someone that loves the dark side of medical history! This is the first edition of “The Art & Science of Embalming”. It dates back to January 1, 1896. It’s filled with detailed drawings of the human anatomy along with embalming photographs. It’s truly a work of art 🖤
Did you know that Modern embalming really got its start during the Civil War period? Dr. Thomas Holmes received a commission as a captain in the Army Medical Corps and was assigned to Washington, D.C. where he embalmed many army officers killed in battle. He reportedly embalmed over 4000 soldiers and officers.
President Lincoln took a great interest in embalming and directed the Quartermaster Corps to utilize the method to allow Union dead to return to their home towns for proper burial.
When he realized the commercial potential of this form of preservation, Holmes resigned his commission and began offering it to the public for $100.00.
Status: AVAILABLE
Condition: Outer hard cover has some wear but interior pages are in perfect used condition.
Purchase: DM for pricing and purchase details.
