"Art
images for the cover of Emerging
Infectious Diseases are selected for communication effectiveness,
audience appeal, artistic quality, stylistic continuity, and technical
reproducibility. Art is drawn from many periods (ancient to
contemporary) to "humanize" and enhance the scientific content by
creating order and harmony, showing chaos, revealing truth, raising
consciousness, immortalizing, surprising, fantasizing, illustrating
ideas, stimulating the intellect, and firing the emotions." Left: Edvard Munch, Self-Portrait After the Spanish Flu via Cynical-C |

Smell ya later...
Here's an excellent online exhibit of Japanese Ukiyo-E woodcuts.
