Brain sinuses, 1825 artwork
Brain sinuses. Axial section through the head at the level of the base of the skull (front of head at top), showing the sinuses (blue) of the brains dura mater. The dural venous sinuses drain deoxygenated blood from the brain. Here, those on the left are filled by injection, while those on the right are empty. This anatomical artwork is plate 171 from volume 3 of Manuel d anatomie descriptive du corps humain (1825). This 5-volume anatomy atlas was produced by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet (1790-1883). The illustrations were by Haincelin. Volume 3 illustrated the anatomy of the human nervous system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from 1825 showcases the intricate network of brain sinuses, providing a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the human nervous system. In this axial section through the head at the base of the skull, we witness a visual symphony of blue sinuses within the dura mater, which drain deoxygenated blood from our brains. The left side of this print displays sinuses that have been filled by injection, while those on the right remain empty. This historical illustration is plate 171 from volume 3 of Manuel d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain, an esteemed anatomy atlas crafted by French physician and surgeon Jules Germain Cloquet in collaboration with artist Haincelin. Volume 3 specifically delves into unraveling the complexities of our remarkable nervous system. With meticulous detail and precision, this artwork sheds light on how veins and blood vessels intertwine to form an essential part of our circulatory and vascular systems. As we marvel at this piece's historical significance and artistic beauty, it serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, medical pioneers like Cloquet were diligently exploring and documenting every facet of human anatomy. Through their efforts, we gain invaluable insights into our own bodies' inner workings – a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit to understand ourselves better.
