Item — Volume: 1
Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
This photograph album documents the 1925 European tour of the
Society of Clinical Surgery. The Society visited clinics and
surgeons in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands, and England. Included are photographs of scenic
views, tourist attractions, and members of the Society. Of
special interest, however, are the numerous photographs of clinics,
hospitals, and famous European surgeons. Many of these photographs
where taken while the surgeons were performing in the operating
room.
The tour began on 20 June 1925, when sixteen Society members and twenty three family members departed from New York on the Italian ship, "Duillio". The ship landed in Naples; the group then travelled to Rome where they visited the clinics of Roberto Alessandri and Raffaele Bastianelli. The tour then moved to Florence, and then Bologna, where the Society visited the clinic of Vittorio Putti, the famous orthopedic surgeon. Many other clinics and surgeons were visited during the tour, including Davide Giordano in Venice, Paul Clairmont in Innsbruck, Fritz de Quervain in Lucerne, Emile Roux in Lausanne, Rene Leriche in Strassbourg, Jean Louis Faure and Pierre Duval in Paris, and Jan Schoemaker in the Hague. Present are numerous photographs of these surgeons at work in the operating room (see pages 28, 29, 75, 82-84, 92, 95, and 96). Also included are photographs of heliotherapy in Davide Giordano's clinic in Venice (see pages 52 and 53).
The collection also contains numerous photographs of members of the Society and their families, including Charles H. Peck (then President of the Society), John H. Gibbon, William D. Haggard, David B. Cheever, Daniel F. Jones, Edward S. Judd, James F. Mitchell, Allen O. Whipple, and George W. Crile.
The page captions are listed in the inventory list.
