Oral mucosa and salivary glands, 1866 illustration. This page is plate 9 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 third book 'Digestion', a republication of the section on the digestive system that was first published in 1850. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY)
