Description

Francisco Montes de Oca. 1878," which implies this was made as a gift for the person named in the piece. The name written could be referring to Francisco Montes de Oca y Saucedo, who was a Mexican military doctor that founded the Practical Military Medical School. He was also known for pioneering emergency and trauma surgery and developing surgical techniques that left a mark in Mexican surgery and abroad. Unsigned.
