Scope and Content: Gautier's Anatomie générale des viscères included life-size dissected figures, made up of three plates each. The plates are of little didactic use, and frequently possess a certain erotic quality. Dissected parts are placed in a 'living' body, with quizzical, serene faces, coiffured according to the fashion of the day. One plate shows a dissected new-born child asleep, lying close to his mother, whose uterus is open to display.
Location: Jason A. Hannah Collection
General Note: Plates 1-3 and 4-6 join together to form respectively female and male figures.
