Features of The Making of Mr Grays Anatomy PDF

Gray’s Anatomy is probably one of the most iconic scientific books ever published: an illustrated textbook of anatomy that is still a household name 150 years since its first edition, known for its rigorously scientific text, and masterful illustrations as beautiful as they are detailed.The Making of Mr Grays Anatomy PDF

The Making of Mr Gray’s Anatomy tells the story of the creation of this remarkable book, and the individuals who made it happen: Henry Gray, the bright and ambitious physiologist, poised for medical fame and fortune, who was the book’s author; Carter, the brilliant young illustrator, lacking Gray’s social advantages, shy and inclined to religious introspection; and the publishers – Parkers, father and son, the father eager to employ new technology, the son part of a lively circle of
intellectuals. It is the story of changing attitudes in the mid-19th century; of the social impact of science, the changing status of medicine; of poverty and class; of craftsmanship and technology. And it all unfolds in the atmospheric milieu of Victorian London – taking the reader from the smart townhouses of
Belgravia, to the dissection room of St George’s Hospital, and to the workhouses and mortuaries where we meet the friendless poor who would ultimately be immortalised in Carter’s engravings.

Alongside the story of the making of the book itself, Ruth Richardson reflects on what made Gray’s Anatomy such a unique intellectual, artistic, and cultural achievement – how it represented a summation of a long half century’s blossoming of anatomical knowledge and exploration, and how it appeared just at the right time to become the ‘Doctor’s Bible’ for generations of medics to follow.

Fascinating, lively

I was interested in this topic because of the publishing history involved, but it gave me so much more. Anyone interested in medicine will find this fascinating. A very good book.

Fascinating snapshot of Victorian London publishing

December 26, 2012

This is a fascinating book if you have any interest in how the world worked 150 years ago. The author goes into extraordinary depth in describing how hospitals, book publishers, engravers, medical students and authors worked and lived in 1850’s London. I’m not sure if she really wanted to go into these various side streets or not, but since Gray left very few papers the author is left trying to stitch together who knew what, who worked together, which senior medical person groomed whom for promotion, etc.

The book in question, “Gray’s Anatomy” was the result of an inspired collaboration between the highly ambitious Henry Gray and a brilliant young medical illustrator, Henry Carter. Carter left terse and sometimes cryptic diary entries, which form the skeleton upon which the author hangs the book. Gray left nothing but a list of publications, professional accomplishments, dissecting room logbook notes and all the text in the Anatomy book.

The author, Ruth Richardson, seems to have scoured the remaining information sources from that period to recreate discussions between authors and publishers, publishers and engravers, Gray and Carter. Once in a while you cringe at the leaps she makes in imagination to tell these events, but her research has been pretty darn exhaustive, so I suppose she has earned the right to do so.

There is also a tremendous amount of information about where the bodies used for dissection came from. In the 1850’s the years of grave-robbing were still in recent memory. The Anatomy Law provided for the bodies of unclaimed dead in workhouses or the hospital to be sent to the medical school for dissection. But the demand for bodies often exceeded supply and some bodies were shipped off prematurely to prevent their being claimed, then records falsified. It’s quite a story, and Richardson had previously written a whole book on this subject alone.

Similar detail is presented on the publishing industry. Richardson has looked at contemporary books (now falling apart) and examined which kinds of scrap paper was used in the spine as well as comparing prices, typefaces, paper quality, binding styles, etc.

From all these threads she weaves a continuous narrative with a plausible storyline. I’m not sure of the intended audience, as an enthusiast for this time in British history I found it all fascinating (this is the era of the Crystal Palace, Charles Babbage, etc.). But the book is well-written enough to capture the interest of almost anyone who likes non-fiction I imagine.
