Medical zoology, and mineralogy : or, illustrations and descriptions of the animals and minerals employed in medicine, and of the preparations derived from them: including also an account of animal and mineral poisons: with figures coloured from nature / by John Stephenson.
John Stephenson's Medical zoology, and mineralogy, published by John Churchill in London in 1838, catalogues the animals, minerals and poisons used in materia medica for physicians and medical students. Hand-coloured engraved plates show coiled snakes in brown, black and ochre with venom-fang and skull insets, plus red coral, sponges and shells, often floating on plain cream grounds with anatomical details at small scale.
