Gave Birth to 16 Rabbit Babies!

I found this looking for some medical rabbit picture I could use for the cover of my bunny med log I'm creating.




In 18th-century England, Mary Toft convinced doctors she had given birth to 16 rabbits.

A Short Narrative of an Extraordinary Delivery of Rabbets [sic] was written by King George's surgeon about her case. People stopped serving rabbit stew.

Once the hoax was discovered, the medical community suffered great embarrassment...to put it mildly.

rabbits, misc.
