London's Wellcome Centre has recently made available thousands of images from its notable collections related to the history of medical science. These include historical images from both the Wellcome Library and Museum collections, such as Tibetan Buddhist paintings, Sanksrit manuscripts, maps, Ecuadorian shrunken heads and other talismans, etc. Click
