Foot bones and ligaments
Foot bones and ligaments. Historical anatomical artwork of foot bones (yellow) and ligaments (pale blue). Ligaments are bands of fibrous tissue that hold bones together at their joints. In the upper frame are four artworks, anticlockwise from left: the superficial (surface) ligaments of the top of the foot; deep ligaments of the top of the foot; superficial ligaments of the sole; deep ligaments of the sole. The toes are not shown in the deep ligaments artworks. A vertical section through a foot, seen from the side, is at bottom. At bottom right is part of the Achilles tendon. Artwork from The Bones and Ligaments of the Human Body (Ed. Jones Quain, London, 1842)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical anatomical artwork depicting the intricate details of foot bones and ligaments. The yellow hues beautifully highlight the foot bones, while the pale blue shades represent the delicate ligaments that hold these bones together at their joints. In the upper frame, we are presented with four artworks, each showcasing different aspects of foot anatomy. Starting from the left in an anticlockwise direction, we have illustrations of superficial ligaments on top of the foot, deep ligaments on top of the foot, superficial ligaments on the sole, and deep ligaments on the sole. It's worth noting that these deep ligament artworks do not include depictions of toes. Moving to the bottom section of this remarkable piece, we find a vertical section through a side view of a human foot. This perspective allows us to observe various structures such as skeletal elements and connective tissues in great detail. Additionally, part of the Achilles tendon can be seen at bottom right. Originating from "The Bones and Ligaments of Human Body" published in London back in 1842 by Jones Quain, this illustration holds immense historical value within medical literature. Its inclusion in textbooks during that era demonstrates its significance for understanding human anatomy. Overall, this artful representation provides an insightful glimpse into our complex feet's inner workings—a true testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression throughout history.
