Although written in the middle of the 19th century, 'Gray's
Anatomy' is still the most famous and important medical reference
book ever written. An essential element of the book is the
illustrative work of Henry Carter, undisputedly the most talented
medical artist of his day.
Gray's Anatomy, published in the UK in 1858 under the original
title Anatomy: Descriptive and Surgical, is a detailed English
textbook on human anatomy, focused on teaching medical students
human anatomy for practical knowledge during surgery. This unique
first edition includes more than 300 pages of illustrations by H.V.
Carter, M.D. Each image is labeled with the corresponding bones,
muscles, nerves, and organs. In addition, the book is separated
into chapters based on the systems of the body for easy use. While
Gray's Anatomy may no longer be a suitable study guide for modern
physicians, it is considered a classic work on the subject and is a
great reference for those interested in the origins of the study of
human anatomy. HENRY GRAY (1827-1861) was a renowned British
anatomist who studied at St George's Hospital Medical School in
London. His focus was on the endocrine glands and spleen until he
approached fellow colleague Henry Vandyke Carter to help him write
a comprehensive and accessible anatomy textbook. The team worked
for more than a year studying unclaimed cadavers to help write the
text. It was published in England in 1858 and in America only one
year later. Gray published the first two editions before it was
acquired by Longman's in 1863, shortly after Gray's early death
from smallpox.
