Joseph Carson, 1847
CARSON, Joseph (1808-1876). Illustrations of Medical Botany. Philadelphia: Robert P. Smith, 1847.
Carson's classic work on materia medica, produced in a large format and employing lithographs.

He also served as editor of the third American edition of Elements of Materia Medica and Therapeutics by Jonathan Pereira. McGrath, p.54. Bennett, p.20.
Two volumes, folio (335 x 265mm). (Some spotting internally, marginal dampstain to volume two.) Original calf (rebacked). Custom slipcase. Provenance: Geroge L. Upshur, M.D. (bookplate) – Robert B. Tunstall, M.D. (Norfolk, Virginia; bookplate).
