Although written in the middle of the nineteenth century, this book is still the most famous and important medical reference book ever written. An essential element of the book is the remarkable illustrative work of Henry Vandyke Carter, indisputedly the most talented medical artist of his day. It was written as a guide for students to allow them to apply informed
anatomical knowledge to practical surgery. It is still valid today as the day it was written.
