Original 18th-century French copperplate engravings from Denis Diderot’s celebrated Encyclopédie (1763), depicting surgical procedures involving the hypogastrium / bladder region.
This matched pair of medical plates comes from the Enlightenment-era Encyclopédie des Sciences, des Arts et des Métiers, one of the most important publishing achievements of the 18th century.
These dramatic Chirurgie engravings illustrate operative surgical technique in remarkable anatomical detail, making them highly desirable to collectors of medical history, anatomy, antique scientific prints, and cabinet-of-curiosity décor.
Both prints retain strong impressions with attractive plate marks, generous margins, and excellent visual presence. A striking and increasingly scarce matched set from the age of Diderot
