Here is a photograph from the time, confirming the things all of you have said...

Great photo, Cappucina!
I had always thought it dreadful that surgeons & other health workers wore their germ-infested street clothes around the sick, but I just realized that these people also rubbed elbows with the healthy populace while dressed in the same clothes they wore while autopsying the dead..
How would you like to sit next to one of these fellows on the omnibus at the end of a long day?
God only knows what they got splashed with at work.
Best regards, Archaic

Suze,
own up, now. That picture is a shot from your local amateur operatic company's production of 'Ruddigore'. I'm right, aren't I?
Best,

You can see that there were significant improvements in operating room/theatre conditions by 1925 (...this pic is from London Hospital, I think...)

Hi all,
Its my understanding that up until and during the period we review Surgeons would wear smocks that they used in every surgery they performed, still stained with the gore. Worn like a resume. I know Lister gradually changed the thinking with respect to sterilization, but my bet is that the post mortem smocks were still those same gore stained aprons.
After all, any germs on that apron wouldnt be an issue for the cadaver. 
Cheers all......special hey to Miss Caps.
