Anatomy !

This post is dedicated to my father, who was a professor of anatomy for many, many years, and who is still going strong as professor emeritus, conducting research into the inner workings of the miracles of the human body. My wife's great uncle, Jean de Preissac, was an illustrator with a wide range of interests and themes in his drawings, many of which were used on postcards. The four images below are details I photographed in a large work he did titled "The Amphi", short for amphitheatre. . . where a joyous assortment of medical dissections and studies were taking place, no doubt for the greater benefit of man and womankind. . . enjoy !

The small sign in the first one says, like a menu at a restaurant : "Today the Dissection of a Macchabée (cadaver) Suffering from Gigantisme"
