This wood engraving from the 19th century showcases the remarkable figure of Caspar Wistar, an esteemed American physician and scientist. The intricate details of this print bring to life the essence of a man who made significant contributions to both medicine and scientific research during his time. Caspar Wistar (1761-1818) was renowned for his pioneering work in anatomy, particularly in the field of comparative anatomy.

This wood engraving is not just a mere depiction; it serves as a testament to Wistar's indelible mark on history.
