This beautiful reproduction of an anatomical plate from the collection "Surgical and Anatomical Plates" ( Chirurgisch-anatomische Tafeln ) by German anatomist Anton Nuhn (1814 - 1889) and published in 1846, offers an in-depth analysis of the structures and surgical procedures related to the neck region and the base of the skull. The plate begins by exploring the superior thyroid arteries and the subclavian arteries, offering precise illustrations that help to understand their anatomy and their relationship to other important structures.

A key point of this plate is the explanation of the mastoid cavity access technique, essential for treating hearing problems. The plate shows how to make a proper skin incision in the mastoid region, revealing the anterior border of the mastoid process and the steps necessary to access the antrum mastoideum, a procedure particularly relevant when pathological accumulations in the tympanic cavity affect hearing.

Additionally, the plate details the occipital region, illustrating the back of the skull and neck. It highlights the structure of the occiput and temporal region, as well as how these areas interact with the rest of the cranial system. Combining the lateral view with a longitudinal section allows for a better visualization of the thickness of the skull and the position of the blood vessels, particularly the occipital diploic venules.

This high-quality reproduction, printed on thick paper and faithful to the aesthetics of the 19th century, makes an exceptional gift for lovers of scientific art and medical history. Ideal for bringing a touch of erudition to a living room, study, or library, it captivates attention and generates interest. Gift this unique piece to a friend, a loved one, or even yourself to enrich your home decor while celebrating the beauty of human anatomy.
