We also hold a collection of several thousand medical pamphlets from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. Most of the book collection can be found on our online catalogue and we regularly add new records to make our collections more discoverable. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

It was in quite poor condition when it was scanned - the binding had all but fallen apart, and this allowed us to get better pictures of each page. Once scanning was complete it was sent away for conservation. The book has recently returned from the conservator's workshop; it's now housed in a lovely new binding and stored alongside our rare book collections.</p> <p>Richard Liebreich (1830-1917) was a German ophthalmologist and physiologist. In addition to this volume, the College library holds a similar atlas from 1863 and a short pamphlet.</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Liebreich, Richard, 1830-1917 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available August Hirschwald Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Bookstore LIE [folio] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1885 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Berlin Language A language of the resource German Alternative Title An alternative name for the resource.
