We know who owned them. We don't know who they were. These extraordinary 17th C anatomical tables consist of six panels, showing the preserved veins, arteries & nerves of real human bodies, & two animal organs dissected at the University of Padua with extraordinary skill & care. 1/4

Thank you to everyone who braved the heat & joined our half-term workshop yesterday to create their very own herbals. It was a lovely to share our rare books, explore the @rcphysicians.bsky.social garden & get creative. There were some really beautiful books made & interesting recipes created!
