About the book
Book accompanying the Wellcome Collection's 'Death' exhibition at 183 Euston Road, London from 15 November 2012 to 24 February, 2013. "This book contains treasures from a unique collection devoted to our complex and contradictory attitudes toward death. Assembled by Richard Harris, a former antique print dealer from Chicago, the collection is spectacularly diverse, and includes art, historical artefacts, scientific specimens and ephemera from across the world. Rare artists' prints are displayed together with anatomical illustrations and sentimental postcards, images of human remains join Renaissance vanitas paintings, and a range of contemporary artworks show that death remains a source of powerful inspiration for many artists today."--Introduction.
