Physiological lectures by surgeon John Abernethy, published in London in 1825 and addressed to the Royal College of Surgeons, a medical text for surgeons and students of anatomy. The two pictures are the bookplate of St Thomas's Hospital Library, an engraved coat of arms with a central cross, flanking allegorical female figures, and a lion-like mask below, shown once in black-and-white print and once as a faded yellow-tinted impression. A designer could take from them the symmetrical cartouche structure, with shield centred between scrolls, and the tonal contrast between line engraving and sepia-toned reproduction.
