The story

A drawing by Augustin Joron, made in the 1810s and probably at Amiens. An écorché figure stands at ease beside a broken column holding a staff, a classical bridge and ruined temple behind him, a fallen drum of a column at his feet. It is the eighteenth century's grand manner of anatomy, Albinus's dignified standing figure against an antique ground, carried into the next century by a hand trained in drawing from the antique. The Wellcome Collection holds the sheet, framed in its own ruled border.

Why our plates cost more than a poster: a poster is a mass run on wood-pulp stock, colour-corrected to whatever flattered the press that day. This is one sheet, pulled for you, at a size where the engraver’s hand is visible — the linework, the tonal work, the lettering — on a matte sheet that shows every line without glare.
