These are original anatomy plates from the pre-civil war text, Maclise on Dislocations and Fractures. The engravings are by Joseph Maclise, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. The text was published in 1859 by John Churchhill, New Burlington Street, London and printed by Savill and Edwards.
Over thirty 15" by 22" plates, in both vertical and horizontal format, are available unframed and as is, for $125.00 each. The plates can be made available for viewing by calling the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society at (916) 452-2671.
While most plates show fractures and dislocations, these are of interest to anyone who appreciates medical history and early anatomists. These are beautiful items suitable for office or home and would make excellent gifts.
