{"product_id":"plate-13","title":"Stomach, Heart, Skull Injury- La Médecine Pittoresque","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable plate from La Médecine Pittoresque exemplifies the ambitious scope of mid-nineteenth century French medical publishing. Under the editorial direction of the distinguished physician Antoine Laurent Bayle, this collection brought together the finest steel engraving techniques with meticulous hand-coloring to create anatomical references of lasting beauty and scientific value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate presents a fascinating assemblage: a detailed rendering of the human heart with its arterial network picked out in vivid red and blue; the stomach shown in cross-section; a precisely observed skull in profile with exposed cranium; and a horizontal section through the brain revealing its intricate structures. These medical subjects share space with a botanical study of the nux vomica plant and a curious anthropometric study of a dwarf, demonstrating the encyclopedic approach characteristic of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinguished example of Romantic-era medical illustration, this plate represents both the artistic achievement and scientific ambition of French medicine at its zenith. The Paris Clinical School had made France the world center of medical education, and publications like this carried that knowledge across continents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5\" 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":44704993706099,"sku":"AP7245","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/PL._2013.jpg?v=1775585635","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/products\/plate-13","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
