Delineations of Cutaneous Diseases, 32. - London, Henry G. Bohn, 1816 (1849), 1 hand colored engraved plate, 246 x 242 mm, added a descriptive text leaf. Fig. 1.-ERYTHEMA nodosum. This rash usually affects the fore part of the legs, and seems to occur only in women. Many of the patches are of an oval form, the central parts of which are very gradually elevated into hard and painful protuberances on the 6th or 7th day, from which time to the 10th they constantly soften and subside, the red colour turning blueish or livid on the 8th or 9th day. Pig. 2.-ERYTHEMA marginatum. This eruption was not delineated in Dr.Willan's work; but the little figure, here substituted for an obscure representation of a supposed syphilitic erythema, was found among his drawings. The erythema marginatum occurs in large patches, which are bounded on one side by a hard, elevated, tortuous, red border, in some places obscurely papulated ; but have no regular margin on the open side. The duration of the disease is variable, from three to six weeks. "In 1814 Bateman acquired the copyright to the engravings in the Willan treatise. He arranged to have the plates refurbished. . ., replaced a few, added to them a completely new set of engravings depicting the later Genera, which had never before been illustrated.".
