1760 Arteries Artery Blood Haller
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate and detailed representation of the arteries of the face as seen from the right hand side, according to the anatomical work of Johann Friedrich Meckel the Elder and Albrecht von Haller, circa 1760. The image, a testament to the advances in medical knowledge during the Enlightenment era, offers a unique perspective on the complex network of blood vessels that supply the human face. The arteries, depicted in red, weave in and out of the face's structures, providing essential nutrients and oxygen to the various tissues and organs. The image reveals the intricate interplay between the facial arteries and the underlying bones, muscles, and nerves. The superior labial artery, for instance, is visible as it branches off from the facial artery and runs along the lip, supplying blood to the area. The print also highlights the external carotid artery, which can be seen coursing down the side of the face before branching off into smaller vessels that supply the skin, muscles, and glands of the face. The internal carotid artery, not visible in this image, is a critical artery that supplies the brain, making it a vital component of the circulatory system. This exquisite print serves as a reminder of the intricate and interconnected nature of the human body and the remarkable progress made in understanding its inner workings during the 18th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of precise anatomical terminology reflect the high standards of scientific illustration during this period. Overall, this print is an essential addition to any collection of historical medical art or anatomy enthusiasts.
