Female perineum anatomy, 1866 illustration. Dissection showing the nerves (white), arteries (bright red) and muscles (dark red) of the female perineum, the area between the genitals (top) and the anus (bottom). This page is plate 67 from the third volume of 'Atlas d'anatomie descriptive du corps humain' (1844-1866) by French anatomists Constantin Bonamy and Paul Broca. This work described the anatomy of the human body with over 250 hand-coloured lithographs. The illustrations were by Emile Beau, with the text by Bonamy and Broca. The three volumes were bound as four books in 1866 when the atlas was completed. This page is from the fourth book 'Generation Respiration', on the genitourinary and respiratory systems.
