Beautiful typographical heart print created by Dr. Stephen Gaeta who originated the popular diploma heart.

• 11" x 17" on eco-friendly thick matte stock
• Printed sustainably using 100% wind power, responsibly harvested paper and vegetable based printing ink
• Text taken from Cases of the Organic Disease of the Heart, with Dissections and Some Remarks Intended to Point Out the Distinctive Symptoms of These Diseases, by John Collins Warren, 1809

Stephen's inspiration for the piece:
"After spending years researching the function and dysfunction of the heart, I have a special fondness for this, my favorite organ. In this piece I've recreated the heart using the text from a seminal 1809 monograph of cardiology, in which the symptoms of 11 patients with heart disease (one of whom was the governor of Massachusetts) are described both as they presented in the doctor's office and, later, on the dissecting table."
