EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, created by Robert Benard for Denis Diderot's Encyclopedia published in Pellet, Geneva, in 1779, offers a fascinating glimpse into the medical practices of the 18th century. The image centers around Jean Louis Petit, a renowned surgeon of his time, as he performs an amputation of the thigh. Petit's equipment is meticulously arranged on the table before him. The primary tool, labeled as "Machine to compress the femoral artery during amputation of the thigh," is a complex device designed to control bleeding during the procedure. The bandages, neatly rolled and ready for use, are essential for wrapping the wound and aiding in the healing process. An aneurysm needle and scissors are also visible, likely used for making incisions and managing any complications that may arise during the operation. The intricate detail of this engraving not only showcases the advanced knowledge of human anatomy during the era but also highlights the precision and dedication of medical professionals like Jean Louis Petit. The anatomy of the human thigh is depicted with remarkable accuracy, further emphasizing the importance of anatomical illustrations in advancing medical understanding during this time. This image offers a unique perspective into the world of 18th-century surgery, providing valuable insights into the techniques, tools, and mindset of the surgeons who bravely tackled the most complex medical challenges of their time.
