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

This engraving shows the corpse of a pregnant woman, drawn after dissection. The plate shows the uterus with the child upside down. 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 transcribed in mezzotint in this second edition, translated into German in 1761.
