Anatomical Eye Journal — A. Fiedler 1916-1940 Leipzig German Medical Wall Charts Vision Correction Eye Protection

Between 1916 and 1940, A. Fiedler’s Leipzig publishing house produced some of the finest anatomical wall charts of the human eye ever printed — the Wandtafeln that hung in German medical school lecture halls during the Weimar Republic. The front cover presents Schutzvorrichtungen am Auge (Protective Mechanisms of the Eye): lacrimal apparatus, eyelids, orbital bones, conjunctiva, and optic nerve labeled in German medical terminology from multiple perspectives; the back cover presents Das normale und das korrigierte Sehen (Normal and Corrected Vision): the path of light through the normal, myopic, and hyperopic eye with geometric precision, documenting the correction of short- and long-sightedness by concave and convex lenses.
