It's #WorldBookDay so please enjoy some 17th century surgical instruments from ‘Mellificium chirurgiæ: or, the Marrow of Chirurgery' by James Cooke. This was first published in 1648, and became the standard surgical text of the late 1600s #earlymodernsurgery
This is Dorothy Geddes (and cat). She completed a unique triple: first female Dental Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh; first female Professor of dentistry in UK, and first female Dean of a Faculty of Dental Surgery of a Royal Surgical College. #DentistDay #InternationalWomensDay
