EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithographic print, titled "Head and Neck Anatomy" offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate structure of the human head and neck. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this historical artwork showcases the arteries in vibrant red hues and the muscle structure in rich brown tones. The image is sourced from Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's renowned medical treatise, "Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme" illustrated by Nicolas-Henri Jacob. In this profile view against a clean white background, we are presented with an extraordinary visual representation of the internal workings of our facial anatomy. From the superior to inferior regions, ascending arteries intricately weave their way through various muscles, providing vital circulation throughout this complex system. The diagram highlights key anatomical features such as the jawline, eyes, nose, mouth, and cranium. This lithograph not only serves as a testament to scientific exploration but also stands as a remarkable piece of artistry from French history. Its descriptive anatomy allows us to delve deeper into understanding our own biological makeup while appreciating its aesthetic appeal. With plate number 28 from volume four of Bourgery's comprehensive work on human anatomy, this print offers an invaluable resource for those interested in studying or admiring both medical science and artistic craftsmanship alike.
