- Description
- Harper's Weekly, (37:1888), page 187-188. Five photographs on page 188, text on page 187 in columns 1-2, "The Syms Operating Theatre." A $350,000 bequest on which Dr. McBurney advised the decedent. Nothing in article about breakthroughs or large-scale change. A mention of septic cases, distinguishing them apparently from others less likely to soil the surgical instruments. Praise for design so all can see without crowding and leaning over. All of page 188 is photographs, one large and four small of the building and the interior. Largely clean, empty rooms; no significant activity. Real photographs, not the grey watercolor-like images based on them, but still without strong blacks and whites for adequate contrast. Hansen database #134.
