Originating from the mid-nineteenth century, this framed hand-coloured French lithograph depicts intricate medical procedures on the human face from J M Bourgery's Atlas of Human Anatomy. The composition includes hand-coloured details and surgical illustrations on paper, set within a sage green mount and a warm brown wood frame. Visible details comprise a multi-stepped timber moulding on the frame, a handwritten paper label beneath the print, and subtle glass reflection across the surface. The piece measures 41 cm high and 31 cm wide. Suitably styled for a gentleman's library, the artwork provides historical interest and visual texture when hung above a sideboard in a study, hallway, or living space. The framed print integrates easily into traditional interiors, complementing period furniture and neutral wall schemes. It suits collectors of medical history or nineteenth-century graphic arts who want authentic decorative pieces with period character for their walls.

FAQs

An anatomical lithograph from the 19th century is a printed illustration depicting human anatomy and surgical procedures, created using stone lithography and often detailed with hand-applied watercolours for medical education.

These prints were produced using limestone lithographic plates, oil-based inks, and rag paper, followed by hand-colouring with watercolour washes, mounted behind glass in carved timber frames.

Authentic period lithographs display subtle dotless ink transitions, paper foxing or natural age toning, distinct watercolor washes that overlap fine line work, and traditional joinery on the timber backing or frame.

Anatomical illustrations suit a dark academia or curio-inspired aesthetic, making them ideal features above desks, within home libraries, or grouped as part of a gallery wall alongside brass instruments and dark timber furniture.

To preserve antique lithographs, position them away from direct sunlight and damp environments, ensuring the print is mounted using acid-free matting and protected by UV-filtering glass.
