Skeleton. Computer-enhanced engraving of a " praying" male skeleton (in side view). Drawn by William Cheselden it was published in Osteographia in 1733. Cheselden (1688-1752) was an English surgeon. The human skeleton is composed of 213 bones joined with ligaments and tendons to form a protective and supportive framework for the attached muscles and underlying soft tissues of the body. The skeleton consists of two main parts, known as the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton comprises the skull, spine, ribs and sternum; the appendicular skeleton is formed by the shoulder and pelvis and their attached limb bones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving of a praying male skeleton, skillfully drawn by the renowned surgeon William Cheselden in 1733. Through computer-enhancement, this artwork provides a unique side view of the skeleton in all its intricate detail. The human skeleton, consisting of 213 bones interconnected by ligaments and tendons, serves as a vital framework that safeguards and supports the body's muscles and soft tissues. Divided into two main parts, namely the axial and appendicular skeletons, it plays an indispensable role in maintaining our physical structure. The axial skeleton encompasses essential components such as the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum. These elements protect crucial organs like the brain and heart while providing stability to our bodies. On the other hand, the appendicular skeleton comprises limb bones attached to shoulder and pelvis structures. This enables us to perform various movements with grace and agility. Cheselden's artistic prowess shines through his meticulous depiction of this praying skeleton. The juxtaposition between prayerful posture and skeletal form evokes contemplation on mortality itself - a reminder that even amidst life's complexities lies an inherent fragility. This remarkable piece seamlessly merges artistry with scientific accuracy – showcasing both Cheselden's talent as well as Science Photo Library's commitment to capturing thought-provoking visuals from diverse fields such as anatomy.
