Wellcome Images

As I'm sure most of you will have already heard today, all of the Wellcome images previously out of copyright have now been made freely available! Hurrah! Head over to wellcomeimages.org to have a browse, if you haven't already done so.

Given this wonderful news, I thought I would share a few of my favourite images that I've found as I have been having a browse through the hundreds of thousands that are available this afternoon.

'Wound man', 15th century

'Game of Heaven and Hell' - late 18th century (or, Snakes and Ladders!)

'The Massacre of Hugenots at Tours'

'A chiropodist treating a patient's foot'

'A Travelling Medicine Vendor', 1635

'Anatomical Illustration of a Pregnant Woman', 1634

'A Deformed Face', 1632
