Women’s Anatomy

[-JKP-]

JKP: I'm nearly certain some of those, like the 1512 one, are bladder with kidneys, and the figure is a man. These images illustrate my point 

I just grabbed images that showed how illustrators envisioned internal organs to get something started and to give a sense of how these images evolved between the 14th and 16th centuries in terms of accuracy.

I didn't even pay attention to what the 1512 one was, actually, just grabbed it as a late example of internal organs (to show the progression in accuracy as the century went on) as I was hunting up earlier, more relevant ones. Hmmm, something's wrong with the link. When I click on it now, I'm getting the BNF image from the 15th century, rather than the one in the print book from 1512.

I think the one with the man and the "baby bags" has a schematic of a woman's internals on the bottom right, but I haven't had time to look at the labels (and unfortunately can't read them now, I have to run again).


I need a vacation.
