This gorgeous book tackles the subject of health in an original way and shares valuable advice on how to take care of our bodies.

This volume features the complete 19th-century Deyrolle collection of educational illustrations of the human body, used to train medical students for over 150 years. Dr. Gérald Kierzek offers insights into these illustrations, divided into three sections: major systems, senses and physiology, and the body in life, in which he explains organ functions, modern discoveries, and health tips. The book’s large format highlights not only the educational and scientific qualities of these illustrations, which haven’t aged a day, but also their exceptional artistic quality, which includes many close-up details.
