Neue Untersuchungen über die Wirkung der Handfeuerwaffen
Neue Untersuchungen über die Wirkung der Handfeuerwaffen is a German military medical study by Heinrich Bircher, published by Sauerländer in 1896 for surgeons and army medical officers. Its plates show long bones of the arm and leg, drawn in sepia, with round entry holes, cracks radiating from impact sites, and splintered fracture edges, arranged in numbered figures with German captions. A designer could draw on the clean grid of specimen views and the precise, diagrammatic treatment of bone damage.
