EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a diagram from the groundbreaking work of William Harvey, an English physician who lived from 1578 to 1657. The image is taken from his renowned publication called "De Motu Cordis" which was published in 1628. The diagram depicts the fascinating mechanics of blood circulation within the human body. When a tourniquet is applied, it reveals valves in veins B, C, D, E, and F (as shown in Figure 1). Additionally, another vein with a valve at OH (as seen in Figure 2) fades when the blood supply is stopped at H but remains distended at O and G. Harvey's revolutionary discoveries revolutionized our understanding of physiology and medicine as he uncovered the intricate workings of blood flow through these detailed engravings. This particular engraving beautifully captures his meticulous observations and scientific prowess. It serves as a testament to Harvey's immense contribution to medical science by unraveling one of nature's greatest mysteries - how blood circulates throughout our bodies. This print not only commemorates Harvey's brilliance but also reminds us of the countless lives that have been saved or improved thanks to his groundbreaking research.
