Guy de Chauliac, 1290?-1368 · 1596 · Benoist Rigaud · 2 pictures

A 1596 French surgical handbook by Guy de Chauliac, extracted and adapted by surgeon Des Innocens of Toulouse for surgeons, physicians and apothecaries, printed in Lyon by Benoist Rigaud. The pictures are small crude woodcuts of barber-surgeon scenes: a seated patient having his hair or head tended and a shaving or treatment scene in an interior, with a library stamp on the title page. A designer might take their compact, hand-cut line work and the period domestic interior settings as reference for rustic woodcut style.
