An antique illustration of the human body (1900) by Larousse, Pierre; Augé and Claude

Human Body — Anatomical Plate (c. 1900) — Larousse (Pierre Larousse & Claude Augé)

Classical proportion, clear labels, and poised linework—this handsome French chart turns the body into elegant design. Musculature, organs, and skeletal structure are arranged with textbook lucidity, making science both legible and beautiful. A refined print that lends quiet intelligence to any room.

Why it captivates

• Art meets anatomy — precise drawing with museum–wall poise.

• Beautifully instructive — clear labels and orderly layout read at a glance.

• Fin-de-siècle charm — warm paper tones and crisp type.

• Versatile decor — works equally in studios, libraries, and living spaces.

• Conversation starter — bridges medicine, art, and print history.

• Statement artwork — intelligent focal point at generous scale.

What you’ll see

Front and/or profile figures with major muscle groups, skeletal landmarks, and selected internal organs; neat legends and figure numbers; fine hatching and measured contour. Up close: hairline strokes and tidy typography. From a step back: a calm, architectural map of the body.

A richer historical frame

Issued around 1900 by the Larousse editorial house (associated with Pierre Larousse and Claude Augé), anatomical plates like this distilled contemporary knowledge into clear images for schools and home libraries—bringing the language of the clinic to everyday learners with elegant, economical design.
