While preparing for an upcoming exhibition in coordination with Yale Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we came across this colorful image from Sir Astley Cooper’s On the anatomy of the breast (1840). Astley Cooper (1768-1841) was an English surgeon and anatomist who made advances in the understanding of the anatomy and pathology of the mammary glands and testicles, and studied under the great anatomist William Hunter. This plate shows the lactiferous and mammary ducts injected with wax, showing their radiated direction. #breast #mammaryglands #anatomy #anatomicalart #anatomicalillustration #pathology #astleycooper #yalemedicine #histmed #medhist #librariesofinstagram #rarebooks
