Excerpt from Atlas and Principles of Bacteriology, Vol. 2: And Text-Book of Special Bacteriologic Diagnosis
Doubt, honestly arrived at and acknowledged, is better than apparent certainty without a statement of those things upon which it depends.
For years my brother, J. F. Lehmann, the publisher in Munich, has requested me to furnish him for his "Medical Atlases" one which would simplify bacteriologic diagnosis. After I had long refused to undertake the vast labor which this would necessitate, a fortunate circumstance in the summer of 1894 led me to accept the plan. I discovered in Dr. R. Neumann, who was working in bacteriology in my institute, so excellent a talent for drawing and painting that I proposed to him that he undertake the work with me. Whether we have solved the problem remains for the critics to decide. It seems to me that the plates, painted by Dr. Neumann with untiring zeal under my continual supervision, and carefully reproduced by the lithographer Fr. Reichhold in Munich, are a useful addition to our means of teaching. With few exceptions, the reproduction leaves little to be desired. At least, we have had the satisfaction of finding the pictures of great advantage in our own work and in that of numerous gentlemen working in our institute. We carried out many investigations regarding the method of illustrating before selecting the one employed, which may be considered as almost entirely satisfactory.
