OF

AND ITS APPENDAGES
ACCOMPANYING THE PLATES OF THAT ORGAN”
Prepared by Ludovic Hirschfeld, Senior Professor of Anatomy and surgery to the Medical Faculty, Paris
Drawn and colored from nature by , J. B. Léveillé, Paris
Hirschfeld (1816-76) had his hand drawings copied by Léveillé and chromolithographed. So the material really dates to the mid-1800s although this English translation version was copyrighted in 1891.
J. B. Léveillé, Paris was a famous anatomical artist in Paris in the mid 1800’s.
