Early 20th C. Fold Out Illustration: Head and Brain apple cutting board with white cheek

with white cheek

I dug this one out of a deep pile of paper at the flea market

just general wear and age

but certainly one to be appreciated every day of the year

I find these very very old hand-cut playing cards heartbreakingly beautiful

Early 20th C. Fold Out Illustration: Head and Brain apple cutting board with white cheekOne of three early 20th century fold out anatomical illustrations, all found together but which I'm listing individually. I believe this one, and likely all of them, came from E J Stanley's "Library of Health," first published I believe in 1901, and again in 1916. Five layers total here, from exterior of young man's face in profile, to phrenological diagram of the brain, to muscles, nerves, and skeleton. As is: 9 1 4" x 6 3 4". Tape along left edge
