1860 Smell, Taste and Vocal Cords – Hand-Colored Steel Engraving from an Atlas of Human Anatomy

This 1860 hand-colored steel engraving from a German anatomical atlas captures the larynx with the precision and artistry of 19th-century medical illustration. The plate—an authentic antique measuring 10.25 by 14.25 inches—presents the structures of smell, taste, and vocal cords in meticulous detail, bearing the natural aging and patina that distinguish genuine period pieces from reproductions. Whether displayed as scholarly wall art or added to a collection of historical medical imagery, this print offers both visual depth and the quiet authority of original anatomical study.
