EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithographic print showcases a detailed illustration of chest anatomy. The historical hand-colored image provides a comprehensive view of the intricate structures within the human chest. At its center, the lungs take prominence, surrounded by an array of blood vessels and muscles that form the neck. The ribs, connected by intercostal muscles, serve as protective barriers for these vital organs. Originally featured in Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's renowned medical treatise "Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme" this artwork was skillfully illustrated by Nicolas-Henri Jacob. Its artistic depiction beautifully captures the complexity and beauty of the human body. The print offers valuable insights into various anatomical elements such as the throat (housing the larynx or voicebox), blood circulation (represented through red and blue vessels), and muscular structure (depicted in brown). It serves as a visual guide to understanding how these components work together harmoniously. With a white background highlighting every detail, this lithograph is not only an exquisite piece of art but also an invaluable resource for scientific study. Its inclusion in Volume Four of Bourgery's treatise demonstrates its significance in advancing medical knowledge during that era. This remarkable print from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and educational value inherent in historical anatomical illustrations like this one.
