This is the first installment of a chronology of the anatomical representation of the heart, along with a few metaphorical images tossed in.  No commentary yet--just a quick post.  All images are either from the Wellcome Institute or the National Library of Medicine.  (I'm not sure that I've seen a timeline of these images before...)
