An 18th century engraved portrait of William Harvey, MD by Jacobus Houbraken after a painting by Wilhem von Bemmel, from "The Heads of Illustrious Persons of Great Britain", published in London in 1739 by John & Paul Knapton. It depicts the portrait of Harvey in an ornamental oval draped by a curtain. He is turned to his left, in a thoughtful pose. He is wearing a dark coat over a dark shirt with a broad white collar and many buttons. Below the oval is a drawing of the human arterial system in the lower left, the rod of Asclepius with what appears to be a live snake and books lying in foreground on the right.
This beautifully inked engraving measures 15.75" in height and 9.75" in width with wide margins. There is a shallow elongated area of paper loss at the edge of the right margin. There are a few very faint spots in the wide upper margin and one in the lower left marginal corner. The print is otherwise in excellent condition. less
