Atlas der gerichtlichen Medizin

When I gladly responded to the request from the publisher to produce a handbook atlas of forensic medicine, it was because the need for illustrations, as in other disciplines, is becoming increasingly apparent in forensic medicine as well. This need can only be met to a limited extent within the framework of textbooks, and for the first time, there was an opportunity to provide an easily accessible work that enables both the ordinary practicing physician and the student to inform themselves about the most important forensic medical occurrences without significant expense. The illustrations included are all originals, taken from either recent cases or museum specimens. Some are borrowed from foreign, yet also original, observations.

Dr. Eduard Ritter von Hofmann presents in this atlas of forensic medicine over 240 historical illustrations depicting diseases, injuries, and violent impacts on humans.

This book is an unaltered reprint of the original edition from 1898.
