(some light spotting and foxing here and there, nothing serious.). Very rare and only edition of van Haren Noman's Magnum Opus, which took over a decade to finish, the final instalments 7 - 10 [1897 - 1900] edited and seen through the press by Mendes da Costa and Spruijt Landskroon after the death of Noman in 1896, at the early age of only 41. Van Haren Noman was born in on July 18 in 1854. He passed away in Amsterdam on March 8, 1896. He enrolled at Leiden University where he studied philosophy, turning to medcine after his 'candidaats examen'. Practical research work on Molluscs at the Vlissingen zoology station and work on the specimina collected by Willem Barentsz on his second polar voyage, combined with a medical background, brought van Haren Noman to Leiden where he started his medical practice, during which period he also assisted Prof. MacGillavry on pathological anatomy and microscopy. In 1883 Van Haren Noman was appointed as lecturer in Anatomy at Utrecht university, followed by his appointment to professor of Dermatology and Syphilitic afflictions in Amsterdam in 1886. Dermatology and histology of the skin became his elected field of research. Van Haren Noman was able to greatly improve the study and treatment of patients with dermatolgical ailments, working from the Amsterdam 'Binnengasthuis' in well equipped laboratories and surrounded by many excellent colleagues and students. His lifelong interest and experience in the art of photography stood him in good stead, capturing the different forms of skin diseases on photographic plates. These original photographs form the basis of his unique and rare Atlas of dermatology [here offered!], which was published in 10 instalments between 1889 - 1900. The photographs are all by van Haren Noman himself. From instalment 7 - 10 [1896 - 1900] Dr. Mendes da Costa and Dr. Spruijt Landskroon saw to it that the work prepared by Noman was finished, after the unfortunate and very untimely death of Noman at age 41. The Atlas 'Casuistique et diagnostic photographique des maladies de la peau', is a major achievement and hard to find these days, often found incomplete. The Atlas bears testimony to Noman's unparallelled scientific ardour and medical knowledge in the field of dermatology.
