Historical anatomical drawings

Historical anatomical drawings are detailed illustrations created to study and understand the human body before modern imaging technology. Made by early anatomists during dissections, these drawings served as vital educational tools, showing structures like muscles, bones, and organs. They reflect the evolving knowledge of anatomy and often blend scientific accuracy with artistic interpretation. These artworks helped advance medicine, despite limited tools, and remain valuable for historical insight into medical science and how our understanding of the body has developed over time.
