EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from "Myographia nova, or, A graphical description of all the muscles in the humane body," a groundbreaking anatomical work published in 1698. The print depicts a naked male figure standing proudly on a plinth, his abdomen sliced open to reveal the intricate labyrinth of muscles and organs within. The focus is on the cross section of his stomach, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the inner workings of the human body. John Browne, a skilled anatomist, was the mastermind behind this intricate dissection and illustration. With meticulous attention to detail, he painstakingly documented each muscle, revealing their origins, insertions, and functions. The engraving was brought to life by the skilled hands of Robert White, an engraver of great renown, and Thomas Milbourn, the printer. The image offers a fascinating insight into the anatomical knowledge of the time, showcasing the heart and its role in the circulation of blood. The intricate network of muscles surrounding the stomach, including the oblique and rectus abdominis, are clearly visible, providing a testament to the artists' skill and the anatomist's expertise. This print represents a significant moment in the history of anatomy, offering a glimpse into the scientific discoveries of the late 17th century. It is a reminder of the human body's complex beauty and the relentless pursuit of knowledge that drives the scientific community to explore its depths.
