Customer testimonials

  • ★★★★★ 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.”

    Jason, London

  • ★★★★★ Never disappointed

    “Every visit to Room Four when I'm in Glasgow is a highlight. As someone who works closely with anatomy every day, I have high standards for this kind of artwork — and they always deliver. Beautifully curated, authentic pieces that you simply won't find anywhere else.”

    Claire, Mortician

An original 1866 hand coloured lithographic drawing  by George Henry Ford (1808–1876), Plate XLIV: Muscular Structures of the Leg, Veins & Arteries. Produced as part of anatomical teaching materials in the mid-19th century, these plates demonstrated musculature in life-size and colour, reflecting the era’s blend of artistry and scientific precision. Ford’s work is prized among collectors of medical ephemera and historical prints for its clarity, craftsmanship, and educational value.

Detailed close-ups of muscle origin, insertion, and vascular pathways make this a standout piece for collectors of anatomical art.
