Few works are as popular or go through as many editions as Henry Gray’s ‘Anatomy.’ During the early 20th-century, there was a boom in medical understanding and knowledge, and this book was a critical component in that boom, thus the reason for dozens of editions being printed!

 

According to ‘Heirs of Hippocrates,’

“Gray’s ‘Anatomy’ still remains a standard textbook, and much of the original text and many of the superb anatomical illustrations have been retained throughout the successive editions…[a work that] must be compared to the ‘Fabrica’ of Vesalius.”

 

Notably, this 2nd American edition features an impressive 395 woodcut engravings! However, that alone is not the draw of this book. This particular example was issued by the United States Hospital Department during the American Civil War. On the spine, a faint but legible stamp still exists – “USA Hospital Dept”.
