EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed anatomy of tongue papillae, dating back to 1844. Created by the renowned French physician and anatomist Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery, this artwork is a remarkable representation of human physiology during the 19th century. Figure 1, plate 88 from volume 3 of Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme (1831-1854), this historical illustration was skillfully crafted by Nicolas-Henri Jacob. It provides a glimpse into the inner workings of our sensory system, specifically focusing on taste buds and their connection to arteries, veins, capillaries, and nerves. The delicately dissected tongue reveals various types of papillae such as fungiform papilla. These structures play a crucial role in our sense of taste and touch. The neural pathways depicted here shed light on how information is transmitted through our nervous system to interpret different flavors. Beyond its scientific significance, this artwork also serves as a testament to the advancements made in medical knowledge throughout history. Its inclusion in an eight-volume anatomy atlas demonstrates Bourgery's dedication to comprehensively documenting human anatomy for educational purposes. This fascinating piece offers us a window into both past medical practices and the beauty found within our own bodies. A true treasure from the archives of science that continues to inspire awe even today.
