EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the face and neck nerves, providing a glimpse into the complexities of human anatomy. Created in 1825 by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet, this artwork is part of his renowned five-volume anatomy atlas, Manuel d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain. The image reveals a lateral view of the head and neck dissected to expose the superficial nerves in white. The removal of the parotid gland below the ear allows for a clear division of branches from the facial nerve. Additionally, vibrant red blood vessels and orange muscles are depicted, adding depth to this anatomical masterpiece. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that it represents not only an artistic creation but also a significant contribution to medical knowledge. Volume 3 of Cloquet's atlas specifically focuses on illustrating the intricacies of the human nervous system. With its rich history and scientific significance, this artwork serves as a testament to our ongoing quest for understanding human physiology. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and educational value while reminding us how far we have come in unraveling the mysteries within our own bodies.
