MUSCLES OF THE SCAPULA, SHOULDER AND ARM
“Three groups of muscles are laid bare more or less completely in the dissection, the muscles of two borders of the scapula; those of the posterior surface of that bone; and those of the shoulder and the back of the arm.”
Rare Dissection Plate V – Shoulder : an antique medical illustration dated 1 May 1863, published in London. An original colour lithograph by George Henry Ford (1808–1876), renowned for his 19th‑century anatomical artistry. This life‑size print captures the precision of surgical dissections, combining scientific accuracy with artistic detail.
Measuring approximately 55cm x 37cm, the plate carries the authentic character of age, with natural foxing, toning, some margin staining that reflects its 170‑year history in medical training. A remarkable piece for collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of antique medical prints, this lithograph embodies the Victorian era’s dedication to both science and art, offering provenance and rarity that make it a standout addition to any collection.

★★★★★ 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
