British surgeon (1827–1912) who innovated the practice of sterile surgery, one of the most important medical advances of the day. Ink signature, "Lister,” on a light blue 4.75 x 3.25 British postal card sent to Joseph Lister by noted autograph collector W. Reginald Bray, who handwrites a letter on the reverse side: "May I ask you to kindly return this letter card to me whole and add your autograph across the photo side of same, as I want that for my postal collection, thanking you in anticipation." The card is postmarked April 2, 1902. In very good to fine condition, with light toning and foxing, and small holes where the mentioned photo was once attached.
