Okay, getting into some of my more recent work, finally. This image shows a wax model of child with scrofula (see the white cloth gathered around the face). The source image was from The Diseases of Children, 1908 edition. I initially used the physical book, which is part of a larger series, at the library of the medical museum I volunteer at. It hasn’t aged well, however, so using a PDF is now preferable.
