Printing and the Mind of Man / PMM 420a; Norman 798 (journal extract); DSB V, p.30; Garrison-M. 1933; Grolier Medicine 96; Heirs of Hippocrates 2320. FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DISCOVERY OF PENICILLIN. This first printing of Fleming's announcement of the antibacterial properties of penicillin marking the dawn of the age of antibiotics. Fleming, however, was unable to stabilise the drug, but when, in 1940, Ernest Chain and Howard Florey succeeded in doing so, the full benefit of the drug was appreciated. Fleming, Chain and Florey shared the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1945. An offprint of the original article was published in 150 copies; but after Chain and Florey's later work, Fleming was so inundated with requests for copies of his original article that in 1944 he had privately printed a second edition of about 250 copies. The original offprint is rarely seen at auction, one copy sold for $126,750 in 2001 at Sotheby's. - Visit our website to see more images!
