EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features two pages from the second edition of Grays Anatomy, published in 1860, focusing on the common carotid artery. The illustrations, hand-coloured with meticulous attention to detail, showcase the intricate network of blood vessels in the neck region. The work, titled "Anatomy, Descriptive and Surgical," was authored by Henry Gray, with drawings by H.V. Carter and dissections carried out jointly by the author and Dr. Carter. The carotid artery, a major supplier of blood to the head and brain, is highlighted in these pages. The illustrations offer an unprecedented glimpse into the human cardiovascular system during a time when medical knowledge was rapidly expanding. The topographical and surgical anatomy depicted in these pages would have been invaluable to medical professionals and students, providing essential insights into the intricacies of the human body. The historical significance of Grays Anatomy, particularly this edition, lies in its role as a seminal work in the field of anatomy and surgery. Its publication marked a crucial period in the development of modern medical education and practice. The intricate hand-coloured illustrations, such as those showcased here, continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich history of medical discovery and innovation. This image serves as a testament to the dedication and expertise of Henry Gray, H.V. Carter, and Dr. Carter, who, through their collaborative efforts, produced a work that remains a foundational text in the study of anatomy and surgery. Their groundbreaking research and illustrations continue to inform and inspire medical professionals and students alike, more than 160 years after their initial publication.
