The Sick Rose is a beautifully gruesome and strangely fascinating visual tour through disease in an age before colour photography.
This stunning volume, combining detailed illustrations of afflicted patients from some of the world’s rarest medical books, forms an unforgettable and profoundly human reminder of mankind’s struggle with disease.
