Head and chest arteries, 1825 artwork
Head and chest arteries. Superficial arteries (red) of the chest, neck and head, which are visible when the skin and muscle fascia are removed. The scalp of the head has a large number of blood vessels. In the chest, the major blood vessels are located deeper in the body, below layers of muscle. This anatomical artwork is plate 217 from volume 4 of Manuel d anatomie descriptive du corps humain (1825). This 5-volume anatomy atlas was produced by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet (1790-1883). The illustrations were by Haincelin. Volume 4 illustrated the anatomy of the circulatory and respiratory systems

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of head and chest arteries, providing a glimpse into the inner workings of our circulatory system. Created in 1825 by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet, this artwork is part of his renowned five-volume anatomy atlas titled "Manuel d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain". The image reveals the superficial arteries that course through the chest, neck, and head when the skin and muscle fascia are removed. The scalp of the head is particularly rich in blood vessels while major blood vessels in the chest lie deeper beneath layers of muscle. With its historical significance and meticulous detail, this anatomical illustration offers valuable insights into human anatomy during the 19th century. It highlights how oxygenated blood flows through these vital pathways to nourish various organs and tissues. The collaboration between Cloquet and illustrator Haincelin brings this scientific knowledge to life with precision and artistry. Volume 4 specifically focuses on dissecting both circulatory and respiratory systems, making it an invaluable resource for medical professionals studying human physiology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our body's complexity and resilience. It serves as a testament to mankind's continuous exploration of medicine throughout history. This print from Science Photo Library allows us to appreciate not only its educational value but also its aesthetic appeal as a work of art capturing our fascination with human biology.
