Anatomical Flipbook, L.W. Yaggy & James J. West, 1885








Thanks to Morbid Anatomy reader Ophelia Chong for alerting me to this wonderful anatomical flipbook residing in her Flickr ephemera collection. It was published by L.W. Yaggy & James J. West and dates from 1885.

View her complete Flickr collection here. And check out her online portfoio for a nice use of anatomical imagery as navigation tools. Thanks, Ophelia!

looks like one of these illustrations was adapted/mashed for a book cover design. Peter Turchi's Maps of the imagination; the writer as cartographer.
