"Of the foregoing illustrations the colored diagrams, Plates I and II, were executed by Mr. E. Sinclair, of Philadelphia; the chromos, Plates III, VI, VIII, XIV, XIX, XX, XXVII, XXX, XXXI, and XXXIII were executed by F. Moras, of Philadelphia, under the supervision of Mr. Hermann Faber, by whom the original water-color drawings were made. Plates IV, V, VII, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXVIII, XXIX, XXXII, XXXIV, XXXV, XL, and XLI are reproduced from photographs of the specimans selected, made at the Museum by Mr. E.J. Ward. With the exception of Plate VII they were reproduced for the first five thousand copies of this work after the Woodbury-type process by the American Photo-relief Company, under the supervision of Mr. John Carbutt, of Philadelphia. This process, commended by Mr. Alexander Agassiz...was also selected by my colleague, Assistant Surgeon G.A. Otis, U.S.A., for a number of the photographic plates in the Second Surgical Volume of this work. Meanwhile, however, the Heliotype process had been made available in this country by the enterprise of James R. Osgood & Co., of Boston, under the supervision of Mr. Ernest Edwards, and as this method was found to give results which in delicacy and beauty closely approximate the Woodbury-types, while the plates, being executed in printer's ink on ordinary plate-paper, must be as permanent as the letter-press itself, it was selected for the second five thousand copies authorized by the act approved June 23, 1875. Plate VII was reproduced by the Heliotype process for both editions. Plate IX, XXV, XXVI, and XXXVI are copied from photo-micrographs, magnified 12 diameters, by Assistant Surgeon E. Curtis, U.S.A. They were etched on steel by Mr. H. Faber. Plates X, XI, XII, XIII, XXIV, XXXVII, XXXVIII, and XXXIX are fac-similes of photo-micrographs made by myself, with powers varying from 63 to 280 diameters. They were reproduced for the first five thousand copies by the Woodbury-type, and for the second by the Heliotype process, as in the case of the other photographic plates. The original negatives, and the preparations copied, are preserved in the Army Medical Museum.--J.J.Woodward, Surgeon, U.S.A."--Note, p. XI.
