Wound Leg Reference Chart, 16th Century

This is a Wound Leg, a quick reference chart for surgeons showing the sort of wound they might expect to encounter on the battlefield, and what tools to reach for first. The accompanying text does not dwell upon the picture a great deal, nor does it explain why only a leg is shown. Many contemporary illustrations show a full figure, with a bloodthirsty array of wounds and weapons. The 1585 edition of Paré's Oeuvres (Collected Works) represents the final summary of his life's work. It has over twelve hundred folio pages, with nearly 400 illustrations drawing upon a lifetime of practice. Four editions of the Oeuvres were published during his lifetime, and this is the last and the most complete. Often his descriptions of difficult cases end with the same simple sentence, "I treated him, but God cured him." Ambroise Paré (1510 - December 20, 1590) was a French surgeon, anatomist, inventor and one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology.
