322 pp [irregular pagination]; about 1500 figs. Folio. Later 1/4-red leather and plain gray cloth (I will send a photo of the binding on request). Marginal yellowing of text leaves.

The mould covered with the skin graft was put into place, after which the skin was closed. Later on the mould was removed through another incision. Esser based his method on two principles which in his opinion were essential to adequate healing: equal pressure and total immobilization. This grafting method became known as 'epidermic inlay grafting' in English and as 'Epitheleinlage' in German. . . . Esser's publications attracted the attention of the Gillies group in Sidcup in Kent, England. This group played an active part in the treatment by plastic and reconstructive surgery of soldiers wounded in World War I.
