"The largest and most spectacular of the early classics of dermatology, with hand-coloured illustrations unsurpassed for their quality of execution. The illustrations are also the first on the subject in a French book. This book also contains the original description of mycosis fungoides"--Garrison-Morton 3986 (1806 original edition).
