Ankle bones and ligaments
Ankle bones and ligaments. Historical anatomical artwork of ankle bones (yellow) and ligaments (pale blue). Ligaments are bands of fibrous tissue that hold bones together at their joints. In the upper frame are views of 7 ankle bones, and in the lower frame are different views of the ankle. From left-right, then top-bottom: the calcaneus (heel); talus (ankle) [two bones of hindfoot]; navicular; internal, middle and external cuneiform; cuboid (upper centre) [five tarsals of midfoot]; ankle from behind; vertical section through ankle; ankle from front; ankle side views: outside and inside. Artwork from The Bones and Ligaments of the Human Body (Ed. Jones Quain, London, 1842)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork showcases the intricate details of ankle bones and ligaments, providing a historical glimpse into human anatomy. The print features two frames, each offering different perspectives on this vital joint. In the upper frame, we are presented with seven ankle bones in meticulous detail. From left to right and top to bottom, these include the calcaneus (heel), talus (ankle), navicular, internal cuneiform, middle cuneiform, external cuneiform, and cuboid. The lower frame provides an array of views that further enhance our understanding of the ankle's complexity. We observe the joint from behind as well as through vertical and frontal sections. Additionally, side views from both outside and inside angles offer comprehensive insights into its structure. Ligaments play a crucial role in maintaining stability by connecting bones at joints like the ankle. Delicately depicted in pale blue hues throughout this artwork, they emphasize their fibrous nature while beautifully contrasting against the yellow tones of surrounding bone structures. Originally featured in "The Bones and Ligaments of the Human Body" edited by Jones Quain in London during 1842, this illustration serves as a testament to early medical textbooks' dedication to anatomical accuracy. Its inclusion within Science Photo Library's collection ensures that future generations can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significant contribution to scientific knowledge about human anatomy.
