William Hunter on the anatomy of human pregnancy, 1774. This page, showing the uterus of a woman who died in the ninth month of pregnancy, is from 'Anatomia uteri humani gravidi' (The anatomy of the human gravid uterus) by Scottish anatomist William Hunter (1718-1783). The death was caused by bleeding following detachment of the placenta (abruptio placentae). Hunter was the leading obstetrician of the time, and this was his most famous publication. His approach to anatomical illustration was modelled on that used by Leonardo da Vinci. | |
