{"product_id":"plate-4","title":"Dental, Eye, Fetal \u0026 Veins- La Médecine Pittoresque","description":"\u003cp\u003eA remarkable plate from La Médecine Pittoresque, the influential French medical atlas published under the direction of Antoine Laurent Bayle in the 1830s. This steel engraving with original hand-coloring presents five distinct medical subjects with the precision that made Parisian medical illustration the world standard: a detailed dissection of facial nerves and dental anatomy, a diagram of the optic nerves, a complete fetal circulation system with placenta, a demonstration of lacrimal fistula surgery, and documentation of varicose vein pathology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate exemplifies the pedagogical brilliance of French medical publishing during the golden age of the Paris Clinical School. Each figure is meticulously numbered and captioned, serving both practicing physicians and medical students. The hand-coloring, with its careful differentiation of arterial red and venous blue, reflects the anatomical understanding of the period while achieving genuine artistic beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA significant piece for collectors of medical antiques, history of medicine, or early nineteenth-century French prints. The combination of obstetric, surgical, and anatomical content on a single plate makes this an especially rich example of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.0\" x 7.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44704986071155,"sku":"AP7239","price":74.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/PL._204.jpg?v=1775585481","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/plate-4","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
