Stumbled through some imagery that has left me in awe. In awe from the lack of utensils, information and technology, yet they still seem to be able to interpret what they understand so clearly.
Breast cancer treatment, 1809
These illustrations are from an 1809 book documenting various surgeries performed by Seishū Hanaoka for the treatment of breast cancer. The illustrations here depict the treatment for a 60-year-old female patient.
Human anatomy (date unknown)
In this image, a sheet of transparent paper showing the outline of the body is placed over the anatomical illustration.
More.
I'm left in shock.
