William Hunter on the anatomy of human pregnancy, 1774. This page shows a pregnancy at six-month gestation, with the uterus opened and vessels injected showing the foetus and part of the placenta and umbilical cord. This illustration is from 'Anatomia uteri humani gravidi' (The anatomy of the human gravid uterus) by Scottish anatomist William Hunter (1718-1783). 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. | |
