Illustrations of pulmonary consumption : its anatomical characters, causes, symptoms and treatment. With twelve plates, drawn and coloured from nature / By Samuel George Morton.
A medical monograph on pulmonary consumption by Philadelphia physician and anatomist Samuel George Morton, published by Key & Biddle in 1834 for doctors and students, with twelve plates drawn and coloured from nature. The hand-tinted lithographs show cut lung and organ sections as irregular mottled slabs in maroon, ochre and grey-green, with red vessel branches and black cavities—useful as abstract textures and organic silhouettes.
