Cette gravure anatomique du XVIIIe siècle, réalisée par William Hunter (1718-1783) et figurant la planche XXXIV , est une œuvre majeure de l'illustration médicale. Illustrée par Jan van Rymsdyk et d'autres graveurs , puis imprimée par John Baskerville à Birmingham , elle représente un fœtus à terme dans son utérus, l'utérus et la paroi abdominale ouverts, et les os du bassin sectionnés transversalement. Ces dessins, basés sur des dissections réelles de corps de femmes enceintes, constituent l'une des œuvres les plus importantes de l'histoire de l'obstétrique.
Très recherchée par les collectionneurs, les historiens de l'obstétrique et les décorateurs d'intérieur , cette gravure sur cuivre de Hunter allie rigueur scientifique et art historique, ce qui en fait un ajout remarquable aux bibliothèques, aux salles d'étude ou aux collections médicales.

★★★★★ 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.”
