Author Description

Excerpt from Atlas of Cutaneous Morbid Histology: Consisting of Fifty-Three Coloured Figures on Twenty-Four Plates and Text Herr J. B. Van Deventer, Oberstabsarzt of the Netherlands East Indian Army in Batavia, who appeared to me quite exceptionally qualified to accomplish the design. My colleague combined the most painstaking industry with great artistic gifts, and with a power of delineating the most difficult details. In a remarkably short time he had prepared the accompanying plates, and I trust that the admirable way in which he has performed the task will meet with well-merited approval. Thus it only remained for me to write the explanatory text. I have endeavoured to do this in such a way as to include a sketch of the present state of our knowledge of each disease delineated in the plates. I have for other reasons been unable to adopt an alphabetical arrangement of the subjects treated, for the exigencies of space rendered it necessary to arrange the plates in such a manner as the nature and form of the figures depicted permitted.
