Excerpt from Atlas of the External Diseases of the Eye: Including a Brief Treatise on the Pathology and Treatment AT the request of the publisher I undertook the task of preparing the present atlas and accompanying treatise, although at the time I fully appreciated how difficult it is to give a faithful reproduction of the external diseases of the eye. But after seeing the work of Mr. J. Fink, of Munich, at my clinic last summer, I became convinced of his ability to accomplish anything within the range of the illustrator' s art. With the exception of a few pictures which I already had in my collection, the illustrations were all painted from nature, the artist utilizing any suitable cases that happened to come to the clinic. We therefore had to depend largely on chance for a complete collection of suitable clinical pictures; but we were fortunate enough to obtain and commit to canvas the most important of such diseases as lend themselves to illustration.
