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 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.
