ANTIQUE MEDICAL ILLUSTRATIONS


Antique medical illustrations are expensive and hard to come by. Transmission Atelier, a publisher and fine art printer in Chicago, has a more affordable option by reprinting medical, religious, mythology and natural history illustrations. I'm not a big supporter of reprints but sometimes it's the only way to own the image. You can guess my favorite print is the skeleton of conjoined twins from 1734.
