Leçons cliniques sur l'hystérie et l'hypnotisme : faites à l'Hôpital Saint-André de Bordeaux

Pitres, A. (Albert), 1848-1891 · 1891 · Paris : O. Doin · 83 pictures

A clinical lecture series on hysteria and hypnotism given by Albert Pitres at the Hôpital Saint-André in Bordeaux and published in Paris by O. Doin in 1891, aimed at medical students and physicians. Its pictures are plain outline figures of front and back views of the human body, shaded with fine hatching or half-shaded to mark one side, with dots and small marks plotting sensory loss on the skin. A designer might take from them the clean, schematic diagram style of medical charts, with the split-body layout and hatched fill as a reusable motif.
