- Custodial history:
Donated to the Ruth Lilly Medicial Library by Ronald E. Jureziz, MD of South Bend, Indiana in 2021. The drawings were originally commissioned by William Edmund Van Fleit, MD (1922-1987) when he was a faculty member at Emory University School of Medicine (Department of Surgery, Division of Thoracic Surgery) in the 1960s. Dr. Van Fleit subsequently moved to South Bend, Indiana (circa 1964) and began practicing as the city's first vascular surgery specialist. Dr. Jureziz joined Dr. Van Fleit's medical practice in South Bend after graduating from the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago. Dr. Jureziz took over the practice in 1984, thereby taking ownership of the drawings.
