Historical Anatomies on the Web is a digital project designed to give Internet users access to high quality images from important anatomical atlases in the Library's collection. The project offers selected images from NLM's atlas collection, not the entire books, with an emphasis on images and not texts. Atlases and images are selected primarily for their historical and artistic significance, with priority placed upon the earliest and/or the best edition of a work in NLM's possession.
The history of medicine is iinteresting and frightening.They have title and images ranging from th 1300s to the 1800s. Some are incredibly detailed and others are like the picture over there.
Personally, I think it's cool how some of the artists try to tell a story with their images.

Also, there should be more metaphors for the penis that involve scorpions.
