A Garden of Roses for Pregnant Women and Midwives. Figure of "Birth Chair"
Abstract
Originally published in Der schwangern Frauwen und Hebammen Roszgarten. Strassburg, Martinus Flach, Junior. 1513. These images were taken while preparing a book (Wombs with a View, Springer, 2016) on the history of the illustrations and how they contributed to our understanding of anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, thereby enabling advances in the practice of obstetrics and gynecology.
