"Vesicoureteric Reflux 1990" (ink & watercolour)

This diagram of severe vesico-ureteral reflux is taken from a little book of “Congenital Anomalies of the Urinary Tract” that was donated to every urologist in the UK in 1990. The occasional copy still turns up but it has been out of print since then.
