William Hunter was an 18^th-century Scottish physician who was best known for his studies and practices in obstetrics. First published in 1774, ‘The Anatomy of the Gravid Uterus Exhibited in Figures’ was the leading source for case subjects relating to obstetrics and gynecological medicine. And while other works on the subject were available at the time, few possessed the impressive illustrations that Hunter’s work did.

Notable medical references provide important reviews on this work huge folio.

Per ‘Heirs of Hippocrates’,

“One of the great publications of world medical literature as well as a classic of book production.”

Haskell Norman states that it was “one of the great artistic achievements in medicine”.

This 1851 elephant folio was published by the Sydenham Society and contains exquisite, double-page engravings of female reproductive anatomy and views of fetuses in utero.
