This 19th-century hand-colored lithographic print offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate beauty of the cardiovascular system. With its white background, the image showcases the detailed blood vessels in vibrant red and blue hues, elegantly winding their way through the human neck and torso. At the center, we are drawn to the heart, majestically positioned above the diaphragm. The kidneys can be seen below, completing this remarkable anatomical tableau.
