John Lizars Anatomical Plate – Hand-Coloured Copperplate Engraving, 1823–1827 -
An original early 19th-century anatomical print from John Lizars’ celebrated atlas, A System of Anatomical Plates of the Human Body, published in Edinburgh between 1823 and 1827.
The plate was engraved on copper by William Home Lizars and hand-coloured, producing the exceptional detail and fine anatomical labelling characteristic of this important period of medical illustration. Originally produced as a teaching aid, it is now a fascinating example of the history of anatomical and medical publishing.
A substantial folio-sized original, printed on period paper, with a clear and detailed image and a strong, visible plate mark.

★★★★★ Instant talking point
“I bought one of Room Four's antique anatomical prints for my study and it's become the first thing visitors notice. The detail is incredible, the print quality is razor-sharp, and it has that perfect blend of science, history and art. It looks like something you'd find in a private medical library.”

★★★★★ Exactly the dark-academic look I wanted
“I've spent years trying to find vintage anatomy artwork that doesn't look cheap or overproduced. Room Four absolutely nailed it. The print feels authentic, beautifully reproduced, and gives the room that museum-meets-curiosity-cabinet atmosphere I was after.”
