The Osler Library Prints Collection
|
| Abstract |
The Osler Library of the History of Medicine at McGill University houses the personal library of well-known physician and bibliophile Sir William Osler (1849-1919), who bequeathed his collection of roughly eight thousand rare medical and scientific texts to his alma mater. Today, the Osler Library contains more than one hundred thousand works, making it the largest library for historical research in medicine and health in Canada. The Osler Library Prints Collection brings together a rich variety of visual documents related to the history of medicine, spanning several centuries, countries, and artistic media. Ranging from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, the collection consists predominantly of prints, though it also includes some photographs, drawings, posters, and cartoons. Medical professionals throughout history are represented largely through portraiture, as well as through caricatures and scenes.
