Theatre of Anatomy.
A. Pugin delt. J.C. Stadler sculpt.
London, Pub. Novr. 1.1815, at 101. Strand, for R. Ackermann's History of Cambridge.
Aquatint with very fine hand-colouring, platemark 298 x 248mm (11¾ x 9¾"), with large margins.
Two visitors inspecting the anatomy theatre at the University of Cambridge. A human skeleton stands above the dissecting table where two specimens are placed. In one of the jars are conjoined twins. Human anatomical specimens also line the shelves. As few bodies were available for dissection, demonstrations in theatres enabled a number of medical students to learn human anatomy from watching the same procedure. From Ackermann's 'History of the University of Cambridge'.
