The Head — Vintage Skull & Head Anatomy Print

Caput Humanum. The head contains the brain and the principal organs of sight, hearing, smell and taste. The skull — 22 bones forming a protective case for the brain — rendered in the botanical archive tradition, with Rosa gallica, English Lavender, Sweet Violet, Sage and Foxglove as companions. Labels: cranium, frontal bone, orbit, nasal cavity, mandible, maxilla, temporal bone. The herbarium note: the seat of the senses — sight, sound, scent, taste and touch meet in the head. Three tiny ossicles in each middle ear. Five traditionally described major senses.
