An old anatomical atlas by Dr. Vernon, published by M. Vermot in Paris, a remarkable educational medical work from the late 19th century. This small atlas features several colored anatomical plates with movable systems and fold-out flaps, allowing for exploration of the human body layer by layer (skeleton, muscles, nervous system, circulation, heart, lungs, stomach, respiratory system, ear, nose, mouth...). These layered cut-out works were intended for teaching and medical popularization, offering a detailed and interactive representation of human anatomy. A very beautiful collector's item, ideal for a cabinet of curiosities, a collection of antique medicine, or a doctor's office decoration.
