Within the abdominal cavity are muscles (orange), the aorta and iliac arteries (red), kidneys (brown) and ureters (white). This anatomical artwork is plate 234 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 19th-century artwork, titled "Uterine Arteries" offers a glimpse into the intricate anatomy of the female reproductive system. Created in 1825 by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet, this illustration is part of his renowned five-volume anatomy atlas. In this particular print, we see a dissection of the uterus (lower center) from a woman who tragically passed away just six days after giving birth. The ovaries and fallopian tubes flank either side, while surrounding organs such as muscles, kidneys, and ureters are depicted within the abdominal cavity. The vibrant red color highlights the uterine arteries coursing through the illustration, symbolizing their vital role in supplying oxygenated blood to support pregnancy. This detailed anatomical representation provides valuable insights into gynecology and obstetrics during that era. Crafted with precision by artist Haincelin under Cloquet's guidance, this artwork showcases both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse. It serves as a testament to medical advancements in understanding the circulatory system's role in reproduction. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, it reminds us of how far our knowledge has progressed since its creation. Yet it also pays homage to those early pioneers like Jules Germain Cloquet who dedicated their lives to unraveling the mysteries of human anatomy for generations to come.
