The exhibition highlights the skill of the illustrators, demonstrates the processes involved in image-making for an anatomical atlas, and exemplifies the key role of the medical illustrator in promoting regional anatomy as the vision of the body that became dominant in this period.
The exhibition is curated by Kim Sawchuk, a professor in Communication Studies and Nancy Marrelli, Archivist Emerita at Concordia.
