EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century hand-colored lithographic print showcases the intricate and detailed anatomy of the human neck. Taken from Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's renowned medical treatise, "Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme" this historical artwork provides a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of our vascular system. Against a clean white background, this profile view reveals the external and internal structures that make up the neck. The arteries are depicted in vibrant red hues, contrasting with the brown tones used to illustrate the musculature. Every detail is meticulously captured, allowing viewers to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of our biological makeup. The image highlights various key features such as descending mental arteries, carotid arteries, temporal arteries, angular arteries, subclavian arteries, maxillary arteries, occipital arteries, lingual arteries, thyroid artery - all contributing to an efficient circulatory system. Additionally showcased are muscles like scapular muscles and alveolar muscles which play crucial roles in maintaining a healthy neck. This lithographic print serves as a valuable resource for anatomical study and offers insight into medical practices of its time. Its inclusion in Bourgery's comprehensive work solidifies its significance within scientific history. Whether you're interested in biology or artistry itself; this remarkable piece bridges both disciplines seamlessly while providing an educational journey through our body's incredible intricacies.
