Muscles of the foot
Muscles of the foot, historical artwork. The figure at top left shows the first layer of muscles (red) in the sole of the foot. The skin and fascia (connective tissue) have been removed. At top right is the second layer, and at bottom right is the third and deepest layer of muscles in the sole of the foot. The underside of the heel bone (os calcis) is at top. Flexor and abductor muscles that move the toes attach to the heel bone. The figure at bottom left shows the muscles on the upper surface of the foot, which include the extensor muscles of the toes.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical artwork, titled "Muscles of the Foot" provides a detailed and intricate illustration of the muscular structure within our feet. Created by Jones Quain in 1836, this 19th-century print showcases three layers of muscles found in the sole of the foot. In the top left corner, we observe the first layer (depicted in red) after removing the skin and fascia. Moving to the top right, we encounter the second layer, followed by the third and deepest layer at bottom right. The underside of the heel bone (os calcis) is prominently displayed at the top, where flexor and abductor muscles responsible for toe movement attach. The figure at bottom left shifts our focus to explore muscles on the upper surface of our feet. This includes extensor muscles that play a crucial role in toe extension. With its meticulous attention to detail, this artwork offers valuable insights into foot anatomy from an earlier era. Published as part of "The Muscles of Human Body" series by Jones Quain, this image serves as a remarkable reference for anatomical study even today. It portrays various planes, tendons, ligaments while providing physiological references. With its rich imagery and comprehensive depiction of foot musculature dating back centuries ago, this historical image continues to be a valuable resource for those interested in understanding human anatomy or exploring medical history's artistic representations.
