Stomach and liver. 19th century artwork showing the stomach (grey) and a section through the liver. The oesophagus (gullet) is at top centre, with the aorta (red), the body's main artery, to its right and the vena cava (blue), the body's main vein, to its left.

This 8-volume anatomy atlas was produced by the French physician and anatomist Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797-1849). The illustrations were by Nicolas-Henri Jacob (1781-1871).
