EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork, a hand-coloured lithographic print titled "Neck Anatomy" offers a fascinating glimpse into the intricate structures of the human neck and upper chest. Created by Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery and illustrated by Nicolas-Henri Jacob, this historical piece is part of their renowned medical treatise "Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme". The print showcases an array of anatomical details with remarkable precision. The blood vessels are vividly depicted in red and blue hues, while delicate white threads represent the lymph vessels that intricately weave through the region. Bulbous white shapes indicate lymph nodes, essential components of our immune system. In addition to these vital networks, the artwork also highlights the musculature in rich brown tones. This comprehensive illustration provides valuable insights into how these muscles interact within the neck and upper chest area. With its clean white background, this lithograph allows viewers to focus solely on understanding the internal structures rather than being distracted by extraneous elements. It serves as both a work of art and an educational tool for those interested in biology or medical history. This mesmerizing image transports us back to a time when scientific knowledge was meticulously captured through artistic renderings. Its inclusion in Science Photo Library's collection ensures that this invaluable piece continues to inspire curiosity about our own bodies' inner workings centuries later.
