Harmsworth's Home Doctor Set of 6 c.1924

Published by Educational Book Company Ltd from 17 New Bridge Street, London, Harmsworth’s Home Doctor and Encyclopedia of Good Health reflects the early 20th century enthusiasm for bringing medical and scientific knowledge into the family home. Produced as a comprehensive domestic reference set, it covers medicine, surgery, hygiene, physical culture, and even veterinary practice, written by a broad group of general practitioners and specialists. The work is complete in six cloth-bound volumes with colour plates, photogravure illustrations, and nearly five thousand images throughout its 3960 pages. Although undated, the style, language, and production are consistent with substantial Edwardian and interwar household encyclopedias intended for practical everyday consultation before widespread access to modern medical services. Each volume is solidly produced and together the set weighs over 11kg, giving it a substantial library presence. The books are 25cm x 18cm.
