EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the fourth plate of the groundbreaking work "Myographia nova, or, A graphical description of all the muscles in the humane body" published in 1698. The print, engraved by Robert White and printed by Thomas Milbourn, offers a unique perspective of a male figure on a plinth, viewed from the rear with an intricate cross-section revealing the back muscles in exquisite detail. The subject's muscular anatomy is a testament to the advanced knowledge of human anatomy during the late 17th century. The image is a snapshot of the remarkable progress made during this era in understanding the complexities of the human body, particularly the muscles and their functions. The muscles are depicted in their true form, as they appeared during dissection, providing an accurate representation of the intricate network of tissues that enable movement and support the skeletal structure. The muscles are labeled with their respective names, offering a valuable educational resource for medical professionals and students. The cross-section of the back muscles reveals the intricate details of the musculature, with the trapezius, rhomboid major and minor, and the latissimus dorsi muscles clearly visible. The image also highlights the underlying structures, such as the heart and the circulatory system, providing a glimpse into the intricacies of the cardiovascular system and the role of blood circulation in the functioning of the human body. This print is a significant historical artifact, showcasing the advances made in anatomical knowledge during the late 17th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of scientific discovery and the role it plays in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
