Antique Medical Illustration – Original Chromolithograph, 1865
“All of the figures are drawn life-size from actual dissections and are printed in colour, with the aim of rendering them as true to nature as possible.”

Created during a period when art and science were closely intertwined, it reflects the rigorous standards of Victorian medical education.

★★★★★ 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.”
