This detailed engraving from 1867 showcases a cross section of a muscle affected by cancer, as depicted in Dr. Jaccoud's dictionary. The intricate lines and shading in the engraving highlight the internal anatomy of the muscle, providing a glimpse into the devastating effects of this illness on the body.
The artist's skillful rendering captures the complexity of the muscular structure, while also emphasizing the presence of cancerous cells within it. The use of color adds depth to the image, making it both scientifically informative and visually striking.
In examining this print, one is reminded of the advancements made in medical science during the 19th century, as well as the ongoing battle against diseases such as cancer. It serves as a poignant reminder of our mortality and fragility as human beings.
