Eugene Nicolas was a military veterinarian and the author of several books. This treatise on comparative veterinary ophtalmology (diseases, care, and treatment of the eye) is notable for its color plates showing the retinas of various mammals--chiefly the horse, also the dog, cat, sheep, goat, and ox. Each plate contains 2 images. Scarce. (Mennessier de la Lance 2:252) Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping/handling rate.
