Illustrations from the Heart Bulletin (1952-1968)
Nice obscure illustration find from Bibliodyssey:"Cartoons of red arteries and blue veins illustrate the principles of cardiovascular medicine. These illustrations appeared on the back covers of The Heart Bulletin. The figures underwent a transition over the years, as the artist [Joseph Schwarting] refined his ideas about illustrating medical quotes. The quotes prompting the cartoons came from a variety of philosophers and physicians who pondered cardiovascular theory through the centuries."
The heart is the beginning of life, even as the sun may be called the heart of the world. The heart is the foundation of life, the source of all action. William Harvey, 17th century Link
