POLITZER, ADAM. Two pencil drawings on paper captioned and initialled by Politzer depicting his study and laboratory(?). Both approximately 198x313 mm; paper toned and brittle with some chipping along edges, both with separated portion at far left, dampstaining along right edge on drawing of his study and in lower left on the other drawing. Vienna, late 19th/early 20th century
Politzer (1835-1920) was one of the outstanding figures in the history of otology, transforming it into a modern specialty through his research, clinical innovations, and prolific writings on the subject. The drawings are identified in the captions as having been done by Politzer himself, with his Gonzagastrasse address in Vienna included on the depiction of his study. Both have additional pencil sketches of unidentified subjects on the reverse, presumably also by him.
