An original early 19th-century hand-coloured copperplate engraving from A System of Anatomical Plates of the Human Body, published in Edinburgh between 1823 and 1827 by the renowned anatomist John Lizars. This authentic antique anatomical print is approximately 200 years old and was engraved on copper by Lizars’ brother, William Home Lizars (1788–1859). Highly regarded for both its scientific importance and artistic quality, the atlas is described as “one of the most elegant works of the nineteenth century” (Cushing L313). Each plate was meticulously hand-coloured, making every example unique and highly sought after by collectors of medical history, anatomy, and antique prints.
Condition: Bright Clear Image - As a genuine antique engraving, the print may show minor age-related characteristics such as light foxing, toning, dust marks, or small closed margin tears, all consistent with its age and originality.

★★★★★ 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.”
