Great medical professional gift - Vintage eye printed on old 1913/14 handwritten medical textbook.


Making the world lovelier ... one image at a time ...

I found another, different page of medical notes relating to the eye in the old textbook I have. The last one sold. This is a perfect gift for medical student, ophthal
mologist, nurse, or doctor. A 1913/14 handwritten book page of lecture notes over-printed with a vintage engraved illustration of an eye with parts indicated alphabetically - such as one a student of the times would have used! 

The text notes are pertaining to 'Dr Harley Chemical Poisons that Act on Eye Amblyopia'. 


It can be framed - float mounting will show off the ragged edge, giving more character to it. It can also be mounted onto a wood block or similar. A wonderful gift for any medical practitioner hero.

The size is approx. 6.5" x 8.25". it is OOAK - One Of A Kind. Click on below link for Etsy listing:

The text notes are pertaining to 'Anatomy of the Eye by Dr Harley (sp?)'. I have to laugh a bit on the reverse side starts off ... "tear ducks." :)

A great gift for a medical student or health care professional especially one that is in cardio work area. A hand-written notebook from 2013 from a girl attending Doctor's lectures. Over-printed with a vintage etched anatomical heart. OOAK. https://www.etsy.com/listing/187104299/medical-student-doctor-heart-vintage on Etsy. Dreamy Papers.

Tips/suggestions on displaying art in your rooms.

http://www.jilliancrider.com

Art adds SO much character and adds interest to one's decor.

A few years back I decked all my walls full of art. Some were from floor to ceiling. Some were my art pieces, but it included others' work, too.
I loved to look up and see it. It gave me a lot of joy.

But even more amazing, my visitors loved it. People would come in and go directly to my walls, and conversations would start up. Even people that were usually not interested in art were attracted to it.
While one large artwork over a sofa might be asthetically pleasing, maybe my ideas of collecting and displaying art might be a lovely alternative for some.
This is some of my art as displayed in my apartment a few years back. A SFA (Small Format Art - search on SFA to discover more online) watercolor 5x7" of a Royal Doulton teacup with pink roses. There is an ACEO (2.5x3.5" - search on ACEO to discover more online) on top of the china cabinet, too. And a 12x36" acrylic on canvas of music artist "Sammy Blue" (google him to check his work), a friend of mine.
Original art is OOAK - only one of a kind. If you want to be unique, this is a wonderful way to go. Great works can be found online - I'm sure you can find some to fit YOUR budget.

Happy collecting and decorating. Enjoy!
