EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Appareil Digestif" takes us on a journey through the intricate workings of the human digestive system. Created by an anonymous French artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a meticulous illustration that brings to life the inner mechanisms of our body. The engraving is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the renowned Dictionnaire Francais Illustre des Mots et des Choses by MM Larive et Fleury. It serves as an educational tool, shedding light on how our digestive system functions. The liver has been delicately lifted to reveal the anterior face of the stomach, providing viewers with a detailed insight into its structure. As we delve into this historical piece, we are reminded of how far medical knowledge has advanced since its creation. This artwork not only highlights anatomical accuracy but also offers glimpses into societal attitudes towards alcohol consumption during that era. The presence of liquor within this depiction suggests an association between digestion and alcoholic beverages. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another remarkable find from their extensive collection. Through this print, we can appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance—a testament to humanity's continuous quest for understanding our own bodies throughout time.
