Color Anatomical Lithograph: Study Of The Nerves Of The Perineum, From The Treatise By Bourgery

A beautiful anatomical plate depicting a dissection of the male perineum, highlighting the network of perineal nerves.
This lithograph is taken from the famous medical work by Dr. Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797–1849), illustrated by the painter and draftsman Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782–1871).
It comes from the monumental atlas titled Traité complet de l’anatomie de l’homme, published in Paris between 1831 and 1854 and considered one of the most remarkable anatomical works of the 19th century.
The plate presented here is from Volume III, numbered Pl. 57, and presents with great scientific precision a study of the nerves of the human perineum, executed from life. It attests to the high scientific and artistic quality of Nicolas Henri Jacob’s illustrations.
Lithograph printed by Lemercier.
