This #18thCentury manuscript herbal by Andrea Di Petris includes over 200 drawings of plants documenting his herbal medicine practice near Padua, Italy. The majority of entries contain physical description, environmental details, medicinal uses, and often an anecdote about his experience using the herb or folkloric comment.
This month marks the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. To celebrate, we are sharing this black and white photograph from 1922 of Major General Merritte W. Ireland (1867-1952) surrounded by military and civilian staff of the Surgeon General's Office with the #LincolnMemorial in background.
The National Library of Medicine recently redesigned the online presentation of its exhibition Emotions and Disease. Held in the Library’s building in Bethesda, Maryland 25 years ago, the exhibition explored the intersection of the mind and body. Circulating Now interviewed Esther Sternberg, MD and Ted Brown, PhD about their work on the original exhibition and the continued relevancy of its message today.
As #NationalNursesWeek comes to an end, we are sharing Honnor Morten's How to Become a Nurse and How to Succeed, an 1890's nursing guide published in London by the Scientific Press. Violet Honnor Morten (1861-1913) was a nurse, journalist, and social work pioneer who authored several manuals and frequently contributed nursing articles to the Daily News and The Hospital. Visit https://loom.ly/1v2Twy0 to learn more about the book on the Circulating Now blog (link also in bio).
With so many different varieties of #leather available, choosing what to use on collections can be difficult! Leather is a very traditional material for many types of bindings, though the process to create it has changed significantly over the past couple of centuries. We currently use vegetable tanned leather created with hydrolysable tannins when doing full leather bindings, rebacks, or other repairs.
We're "feline" excited for the @iglibraries #PawsomeLibraries challenge, hosted by @silibraries. This early #20thCentury postcard features a black and white photograph of a nurse using what looks like a small riding whip to capture a fluffy cat's attention.
