Anatomical Chart: Accurate illustrations of the head and neck regions by Anton Nuhn

This faithful reproduction of an anatomical plate from the collection Surgical and Anatomical Plates (Chirurgisch-anatomische Tafeln) by the German anatomist Anton Nuhn (1814 - 1889) and published in 1846, presents a highly accurate representation of the head, neck and upper chest regions. Produced with a concern for scientific rigor, this plate highlights essential elements for surgery of the time, carefully illustrating the anatomical structures in their natural position. The details are meticulous: the skull, facial muscles, as well as the complex networks of veins, arteries and nerves are clearly visible, offering a complete view of the elements that make up these regions of the body.

Nuhn's work aimed to fill a gap in surgical education in Germany, where topographical anatomical surgery was still underutilized. Each plate, designed in collaboration with the draughtsman Franz Wagner, faithfully depicts human anatomy from a specific perspective to facilitate the understanding of surgical procedures. This approach is essential for enabling surgeons to accurately grasp the arrangement of organs and tissues during delicate operations.

This reproduction is not only for anatomy enthusiasts and medical professionals, but also for those passionate about history and scientific art. Printed on high-quality paper, it retains the original 19th-century aesthetic, while also being a great piece for elegant wall decoration, bringing a vintage yet scientific touch to your interior. Perfect for a doctor's office, an office, or even a sophisticated living room, this illustration is both a tribute to medical history and a timeless decorative object.
