Ars Medica: Medical Illustration Through the Ages
The latest exhibition at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library marks the
seventieth anniversary of the founding of Associated Medical Services
which has done much to promote the study of the history of medicine at
the University of Toronto, and was instrumental in acquiring the Jason
A. Hannah Collection in the History of Medicine for the Fisher Library.
Books exhibited include some stunning anatomical atlases, important
medical landmarks, such as the first editions of Andreas Vesalius (1543)
and Edward Jenner (1798), and other lesser known books with illustrations.
The exhibition runs from January 25-April 29 2006. For further
information about the exhibition, accompanying catalogue and poster,
