Introduction

We have been studying human development for a very long time. This page is an introduction to historical references (Anatomies) in Embryology. Many of images are available as digital versions from the links to National Library of Medicine and other public sources.

Giuseppe Galletti

Giuseppe Galletti (? - 1819) these models are available for viewing at the Institute and Museum of the History of Science (Italy) "Specimens of obstetric models: the wax models are life-sized; the terracotta versions are reduced to a 1:3 scale. Together with the anatomical waxes in the Specola Museum in Florence, these models are among the most significant examples of the use of artistic techniques for teaching medicine and obstetrics to midwives and surgery students in Florentine hospitals at the end of the eighteenth century."
