Sick Rose: Disease and the Art of Medical Illustration

Full of lush medical illustrations which predate photography, Sick Rose provides a journey into the macabre and often unsettling clinical view of developing medical science and practice through the lens of the art that developed with it. O Rose thou art sick,The invisible wormThat flies in the night,In the howling storm,Has found out thy bedOf crimson joy:And his dark secret loveDoes thy life destroy.- William Blake
