Jules Cloquet print dura mater 1825

Hand coloured anatomical print no. 174 of Jules Cloquet’s Manuel d’anatomie descriptive du corps humain of 1825 from volume 2 (of 4 volumes). The print represents an arrangement of the dura mater at the base of the skull. The large cerebral scythe has been removed, and the cerebellum tent remains intact. On the right side, the nerves passing through the dura to exit the skull have been preserved. The left side shows the openings through which these same nerves pass (woman aged 50). Secondly, the print shows a horizontal section of the brain, to show the arrangement of the arachnoid and pie-mother on the surface of this organ. The corpus callosum and the three-pillared vault are removed, to show the chroid web and the plexuses of the same name. (Male, about 30 years old.) Thirdly, it represents the choroid plexus, whose arteries are injected.

The volume contained over 340 illustrations of Haincelin. Besides from the one shown here, we have many others, with various topics, do not mind to get in touch with us. Jules Germain Cloquet (18 December 1790 – 23 February 1883) was a French physician and surgeon who was born and practiced medicine in Paris. In 1821 Jules Cloquet became one of the earliest members elected to the Académie Nationale de Médecine in Paris. In 1836, he was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

Cloquet was known for his expertise as a surgeon, especially his work with hernial disorders. He was also the first to describe and identify the remnant of the embryonic hyaloid artery. This vestige was to become known as Cloquet’s canal.
