A page from a book published in Germany in 1722 showing an anatomical theatre: lots of people lookimg how a dead human is being dissected. A human skeleton stands nearby and watches. This image is part of a "Hausväterliteratur" book, and here is the source: Francisci Philippi Florini Serenissimi ad Rhenum Comitis Palatini Principis Solisbaccensis P. in Edelsfelden & Kirmreuth, Oeconomvs Prvdens Et Legalis. Oder Allgemeiner Kluger und Rechts-verständiger Haus-Vatter bestehend In Neun Büchern ... published 1722 in Nuremberg (VD18 90440641).

An advert for "Cocarettes" depicting a woman smoking on the front of the package, and a list of reasons to smoke them on the back.
The COCARETTE was a cigarette made with coca & tobacco leaves, c.1885. The company claimed that coca was “the finest nerve tonic and exhilarator ever discovered.”

"You say you hate the swamp woman
What the hell are you on about?
Do you even know the difference
Between a swamp and an ancient bog?
In a bog you are pickled, in a swamp you would decompose
You're just jealous of her darkened skin and her dainty nose"

A white bandage featuring sketches of how to bandage various wounds.
I love this bandage from c.1900 featuring illustrations on how to wrap wounds resulting from accidents involving a soldier, a sailor, a miner, and a woman whose clothes have caught fire. This amazing object is part of the Wellcome Collection in London.
