"Royal College of Surgeons, Court of Examiners," Henry Jamyn Brooks, 1894


From a Hunterian Museum postcard sent to me by my good friendEric Huang. (Click on the image to see a much larger version--its worth it. This image has many wonderful details not evident at this small size.)

Une Fin A l’Ecole Pratique, Camille Félix Bellanger, 1902.


Thanks to James Edmonson, curator of the Dittrick Medical History Center in Cleveland, Ohio, for sending this really wonderful image of a dissection scene my way. He came across the lithograph at Librairie Alain Brieux; it now resides in his collection.

Mr. Edmonson is seeking further information about this image. If anyone has ever seen this image, knows of an original drawing or painting of it, or has any other information, please let us know, either by email or by a comment to this post. Thanks!

A disturbing and somewhat prurient image from the Corbis website. Title reads, simply, "Autopsy."
