Lectures, upon the heart, lungs, pericardium, pleura, aspera arteria, membrana intersepiens, or medi
A medical lecture book on the heart, lungs and chest, issued by the Reading printer J. Carnan and catalogued from Duke University's history of medicine collection, dated 1700 though the printing is later. The two pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a stylised vase of flowers with scrolling foliage above a fluted pedestal, and a symmetrical urn with leafy sprays and a hanging pendant. Designers can take the balanced, symmetrical scroll-and-urn layouts as tailpiece models for vintage borders and headers.
