These images of historical dissections and mutants were taken by Philadelphia printmaker James Mundie on a tour of European anatomy museums.
Mundie has long been interested in the role of teratology – the study of “monsters” – in the history of medicine, a field that has in the past overlapped with circuses and sideshows. His captions explain what he saw in these specimens.
