Demonstrations of a Pregnant Uterus of a Woman at Her Full Term, plate V

This engraving shows the corpse of a pregnant woman, which has been drawn after dissection. The plate shows the uterus without the child or the outer layer. It was used to teach midwifery in 18th-century London. Commissioned by Charles Nicholas Jenty, a French surgeon practicing in London, the original 1757 drawing was later transcribed in mezzotint in this second edition, translated into German in 1761.
