Second printing (printed in Switzerland). Large sq. 4to. [xii], 94 pp. With 765 color photomicrographs. Red cloth; rubbed. Ownership signatures of Leslie R. Copulsky and Arthur L. Frank, NYC. Good. The first edition was issued in 1966; this is the second printing. An expensive undertaking, this work became a classic histopathological color atlas.

"He was an early exponent of the use of radioactive isotopes in experimental pathology, and was quick to see the potential of the electron microscope, as well as the application of immunohistological techniques in the study of lymphomas. He was an early pioneer in the UK of the development of SNOP (systematized nomenclature of pathology) coding of diagnostic histopathology data: SNOP was designed to describe pathological specimens according to their morphology and anatomy." / "He wrote papers on diseases of the connective tissues, among other subjects, and authored an influential textbook, Colour atlas of histopathology (London, Bailliere, Tindall & Cassell, 1996), illustrated with his own photomicrographs (or photographs taken through a microscope)." â" Royal College of Physicians.
