Vintage Medical Graphics Art

110 Pieces of Vintage Medical Graphics Art from Rare Vintage Medical Books.

One of the things I love about RetroSupply Co. is that I get to spend a lot of time looking at old stuff.

One day, I was browsing eBay for vintage books and came across the Library of Health. The Library of Health is a classic medical book that’s as thick as a shoe box and It’s most famous for the profile of the brain (seen in the preview images – and included in the pack).

I instantly knew I must have this book. So I placed a bid on it for around $25. Turns out I wasn’t the only person that wanted it. By the time the bidding was over I had spent almost $250 for this book!

And yes, I felt like a crazy person spending that much on a book.

When it finally arrived in the mail I wasn’t disappointed. The book is packed with amazing illustrations. My favourite are ones like the profile of the brain.

Why?

Because you can actually fold back layers and see the different parts of the head (head, then skull, then brain, etc).

This book sat on my desk for over a year before I finally got around to packaging up the artwork. But now you can grab some of the illustrations from this book for yourself!

Included in this set:

• 110 .EPS files of vintage medical illustrations
• 110 transparent .PNG’s of the same vintage medical illustrations
• 20 high-resolution scans of medical ephemera (including the awesome brain)
• 2 .PSD files of the collages we made for the preview images (so you can see how we did it and get ideas)

Software compatibility: .EPS files will work with a variety of programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, Sketch, InkScape, Affinity, Corel Draw, etc. .PNG files will work with most graphic software.
