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 craniologist Samuel George Morton, published by Key & Biddle in 1834 for doctors and anatomy students. Twelve hand-coloured plates show sectioned diseased lung tissue: mottled fields of ochre, moss green, oxblood and black, cavities ringed in pink, scattered pale tubercles — usable as abstract textures, stains and organic blotch patterns.
