• ★★★★★ 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.”

    Sarah, Bristol

  • ★★★★★ 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

A finely detailed 19th‑century copperplate engraving by William Home Lizars, depicting multiple anatomical views of the human skull and jaw. Each numbered figure illustrates bone and dental structures from different angles — lateral, frontal, and basal — with delicate shading and precise linework typical of Lizars’ Edinburgh medical school series.


The sepia tone and balanced composition make it both scientifically instructive and visually elegant.

Printed on period paper with clear anatomical labelling and strong detail — a representative teaching plate from the golden age of medical illustration.  Shipped  in an archival sleeve and ready for conservation framing.

From John Lizars’ famous anatomical atlas: A System of Anatomical Plates of the Human Body (Edinburgh, 1823–1827). Engraved on copper by William Home Lizars and hand‑coloured. Cited in Cushing L313; Heirs of Hippocrates 1436; Waller 5950; Wellcome III: 531.
