Small folio, viii, [112 - plate explanations; index; contents] pp. + 38 copper engraved illustrations of the eye with explanatory text to each plate and general introduction in both English and German.

One the high points of ophthalmological anatomy and patholgy of eye injuries and disease. The black and white plates are copper plate engravings illustrating the eye in natural size, microscopic anatomical sections, and enlarged views. The plates are exceptional for their detail and notable for their illustration of normal and pathological conditions. The text is presented in both German and English. The English translation was undertaken by the neurologist W R Gowers who most likely met Pagenstecher during his residence in England. G - M #5910 ; Goldschmid p. 208 - "Reichhaltige Sammlung von Abbildungen ganzer Bulbi und einzelner Teile. Die Bulbi sind in natürlicher Größe (Operationsmaterial), die anderen Bilder sind mikroskopisch, meist bei schwacher Vergrößerung gezeichnet. Sie sind vorzüglich, die Zeichnung ist exakt, die Wiedergabe in schwarz-weißem Punktierstich mustergültig. Soweit uns die augenärztliche Literatur bekannt ist, bilden diese künstlerischen Bilder den Höhepunkt der schwarz-weißen Abbildungen und können mit Ehren neben Sichels Iconographie bestehen"
