But the visual representation of diseased states followed a very different pattern from anatomy, one we are only now beginning to investigate and understand. Domenico Bertoloni Meli explores key questions in this domain, opening a new field of inquiry based on the analysis of a rich body of arresting and intellectually challenging images reproduced here both in black and white and in colour Notes Preface Introduction: Bodies, Diseases, Images Chapter 1.
