some of my favourite cardiology themed postage stamps from the past

Willem Dafoe by Jeannette Montgomery Barron / 1980

These illustrations are from the Wurzel atlas. To do these drawings, their analysis and descriptions a group of three researchers from the Pflanzensoziologisches Institut, Klagenfurt (now in Bad Goisern, Austria), led by Prof. Dr. Lore Kutschera (1917-2008) dug up all the roots with a scriber (the metalworking tool) and drew each root. This is the culmination of 40 years worth of work!
