Wilder Penfield Fonds, Osler Medical Library, McGill University
An illustration signed by Blackstock in 1930 that appeared in one of Penfield’s publications. The caption describes the image as “the unprompted conception of the artist who was present at the operation.” At the top of the page, we can see what are presumably Penfield’s notes, and marks and dimensions surround the illustration to indicate it as a figure in a publication. .
