This finely hand-colored anatomical engraving from 1877 illustrates the human skull in multiple views, including lateral sections, vascular impressions, cranial sutures, and developmental variations. Detailed anatomical features such as the parietal and frontal bones, suture lines, and brain impressions are clearly depicted and labeled. The delicate hand-coloring enhances clarity and adds depth to this scientifically precise image.

This plate is taken from Atlas d'Anatomie Descriptive by Prof. Ph. C. Sappey, a leading 19th-century anatomist at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris. Published by V. A. Delahaye et Cie, the work formed part of a comprehensive medical atlas focused on osteology and arthrology, widely used in French medical education.

About Prints from Heaven
--------------------------------------
As a webshop for antique and vintage prints I am a 'new kid on the block'. I just started offering prints right here at Etsy and I will be adding dozens of original beautifull heavenly on a weekly basis, so please come back for a regular visit.

--------------------------------------
About the Prints
--------------------------------------
All prints have been carefully detached from their original medium (books). Prints from Heaven exclusively offers original prints, mostly from antique and vintage books, with no digital downloadable prints or copies. In some instances, there might be small (sometimes restored) damages such as holes, tears, stains, or wear spots. There might also be discolorations/patina due to the age of the prints. Therefore, please carefully review the various photos and detailed images for the most realistic representation possible.
Efforts have been made to scan the original prints to achieve as realistic an image as possible. However, the color of the original print may not match the original 100%. Prints may also come with an original fold in the middle of the page, as was present in the book.
In some cases, there may be text or another image on the back of the print.

Antique prints: > at least 100 years old
Vintage prints: > at least 30 years old

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We aim to answer your query as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours.

Packaging and Sending
--------------------------------------
All prints are meticulously packaged in recyclable acetate film, sealed with a strip to prevent dirt and moisture from entering. Please be careful with the strip when opening to avoid contact with the print.
Then, the prints are wrapped in colorful tissue paper and adorned with a classic seal, making them suitable for gifts.
The package is sent in a sturdy cardboard document envelope with a shipping label via the Dutch PostNL, including a track & trace code.
