Ownership rubber stamp of P. Claussen. Hans Virchow (1852-1940), German Anatomist, son of Rudolph Carl Virchow (1821-1902), studied medicine in Germany, including the University of Wurzburg (1877-1882). In 1889 he was appointed professor anatomy at the University of Berlin. Duke-Elder, the leading figure for the study of ophthalmology, praised Hans Virchow for his work on the histological structure of the eye, which he determined using the microscope. Duke-Elder adds that Virchow "Throughout his long and industrious life, he browsed widely over the broad fields of medicine and the natural sciences . . .He not only made innumerable contributions to our knowledge of human anatomy, but became an authority on anthropology and carried his anatomical observations over a wide field in zoology, particularly among the Mammalia; the anatomy of the leopard, the elephant, the tiger, the crocodile, and the higher apes, among many other species, equally claimed his interest." Duke-Elder, System of Ophthalmology: The anatomy of the visual system, vol. II, p. 95.
