Description

Throughout most of the 20th century, before the refinement of the fundus camera, drawings were used to document retinal pathologies. This was done by both working ophthalmologists and by specialist artists. Among the latter, Terrence Tarrant reigned supreme, Richard Keeler, retired director of Keeler Optical and Honorary Curator of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists’ collection, considers Tarrant  to be a “‘genius’ and the greatest ophthalmic artist of the last century.” We are privileged to be able offer one of his very fine original drawings with the date, diagnoses and attending consultant noted verso. It is in excellent condition, with the colors having lost none of their original brightnessCard dimensions: 10″ (25 cm) x 8″ (20cm).  There is a very interesting video available online, in which Keeler interviews Tarrant. A link follows  that you will likely have to copy and paste : <https://vimeo.com/290665757>.
