Plate: XCV - Womb Dissection
An original 200 year old hand-colored engraving from a System of Anatomical Plates of the Human Body. Edinburgh: [1823-1827] by John Lizars.
Approx Size: Folio (43cm x 27cm).
*John Lizars studied with Edinburgh surgeon John Bell and later taught anatomy and surgery in that city. John's brother William Home Lizars (1788-1859) engraved all of the plates on copper. "The book was costly to produce, for the engravings or etchings were, as usual, time-consuming, and the colouring was done skillfully and painstakingly by hand" (Roberts and Tomlinson, The Fabric of the Body, 504-505). "This superb atlas is certainly one of the most elegant works of the nineteenth century" (Cushing L313). Heirs of Hippocrates 1436; Waller 5950; Wellcome III: 531.
Please note these plates have been around for almost 200 years and may show minor spotting (foxing), toning, dust marks and minor closed tears to the outer margins.

★★★★★ 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.”
