Scientific Illustrations

Just as all elephants are grey but not all grey things are elephants so too are all medical illustrations scientific but not all scientific illustrations are medical. This intersection means that there are also broader scientific illustrations included in a select few of Rogers’s exhibits such as one on 17th century microscopists.
