EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century hand-colored lithographic print showcases the intricate anatomy of the human upper limbs. With a white background that accentuates its historical charm, this artwork from Traite complet de l'anatomie de l'homme offers a detailed depiction of the arm's arteries, tendons, and muscle structure. The red arteries elegantly contrast against the white tendons and brown musculature, providing a visually stunning representation of our internal circulatory system. In particular, Figure 4 zooms in on the finger's tendons and arteries, revealing their delicate yet essential role in our everyday movements. This illustration is just one example of the comprehensive anatomical exploration found within Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery's renowned medical treatise. The print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also as a valuable resource for biology enthusiasts and medical professionals alike. Its descriptive anatomy sheds light on normal physiological structures while offering insight into how our arms function seamlessly to perform various tasks. With its rich history dating back to 1836 France, this lithograph beautifully captures both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. From shoulder to fingertip, every detail has been meticulously rendered by Nicolas-Henri Jacob—a testament to his skill as an illustrator. Whether you are fascinated by human anatomy or simply appreciate fine art with educational value, this remarkable print provides a window into the complexity and beauty of our muscular-skeletal system.
