The Los Angeles County Medical Association (LACMA) collection of prints and ephemera contains over 200 printed items related to the medical profession, including satire, medical curiosities, significant figures in the history of medicine, architectural views of hospitals, and the early years of LACMA itself. Many of the prints are engravings, some are lithographs, and a small selection are reproductions printed during a later period. The collection also includes personal correspondence, medical certificates and photographs of members of LACMA from the 20th century. The materials date from 1644 to 1946, although the bulk of the material dates from the late 18th to early 19th centuries. The collection covers topics including medicine, health, pharmaceuticals, patent medicines, quacks and quackery spanning over five centuries, as well as social perspectives on both the practices and practitioners in these fields.
