A fascinating and visually striking antique French medical reference book from 1923, Larousse Médical Illustré, published in Paris by Librairie Larousse. This substantial volume is filled with hundreds of medical illustrations, anatomical diagrams, color plates, fold-out educational charts, and detailed medical reference material. The book offers incredible display appeal for collectors of medical history, dark academia décor, curiosity cabinets, apothecary aesthetics, gothic interiors, and scientific ephemera. Particularly notable are the vibrant anatomical plates and fold-out illustrations, including detailed renderings of the human body, organs, skeletal structures, dermatological conditions, botanical medicinal references, and medical procedures. The original embossed cover retains beautiful decorative detailing, while the interior remains surprisingly clean and highly displayable for its age.

Vintage and Antique Items:
All inventory is pre-owned vintage, antique or artisan pieces. These pieces may be unique and hold marks of their previous lives. For instance, we sell many brass or silver pieces and they may show some tarnishing or patina. We do not polish the pieces as we personally love the aging, as many do! We leave it up to the new owner and their preferences for aiming to remove or not. Our goal is to provide accurate descriptions for every listing, with detailed photographs and notations of imperfections. Please review descriptions and photographs before purchasing. If you have any concerns or issues, please contact us so that we may address them and do our best to meet your needs.
