EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century hand-colored lithographic print offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate vascular anatomy of the human head. Taken from Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's renowned medical treatise, "Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme" this historical artwork showcases the detailed arteries (highlighted in red) and muscle structure (depicted in brown) that make up the neck and head. The frontal view allows us to appreciate the complexity of this internal system, with arteries such as the carotid artery branching out across various regions including the temporal, cranial, maxillary, lingual, buccal, and nasal areas. The superior and inferior circulation pathways are clearly illustrated alongside other key structures like the jaw, eye sockets, nose, mouth, and even scapular muscles. As we delve into this descriptive anatomy piece further, it becomes evident how vital these networks are for maintaining a healthy body. This visual representation not only serves as an educational tool but also highlights the remarkable artistry involved in accurately depicting scientific subjects during that era. With its white background emphasizing every minute detail of this lithograph print's composition—down to each vessel—the image exudes a sense of historical significance. It is a testament to both French anatomist Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's meticulous research and illustrator Nicolas-Henri Jacob's artistic talent. This extraordinary snapshot from history invites viewers to marvel at our own biological makeup while appreciating how far we have come in understanding human anatomy since its creation over 180 years ago.
