Description: | The Anatomy and Pathology Collection contains several watercolours and prints illustrating anatomy. These include nine original watercolour plates illustrating a progressive dissection of the trunk and inguinal region (upper part of legs) as various layers are removed. The first plate of the series depicts the superficial muscles and the final plate the skeleton. There are also seven watercolurs illustrating a progressive dissection of the head and neck. Both sets were published in 'Anatomy in the Living Model' (London, 1931), a work aimed at medical students. The author, David Waterston, Professor of Anatomy in the University of St Andrews 1914-1942, carried out the dissections and created the outline drawings, which were shaded and coloured by J.T. Murray.
Due to the nature of the Anatomy and Pathology Collection, access is subject to legal restrictions, and is by appointment only to legitimate enquirers. | Subjects: | Art Health and medicine DISSECTION EDUCATION ANATOMY AND PATHOLOGY | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Creator: | University of St Andrews | Contributor: | University of St Andrews | Identifier: | MSAM:C72 | Language: | en-GB | Relation: | MC:C48 |
