Scapula shoulder muscles, 1866 illustration. This figure is from plate 52 from the first 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 first book 'Locomotion', a republication of the section on bones, ligaments and muscles that was first published in 1844.
