Et misfoster af en hundehvalp 1748 - 1831

"Et misfoster af en hundehvalp" (A malformation of a puppy) is an 18th-century anatomical illustration by J.F. Clemens, depicting a dog with various deformities. The detailed pen and ink drawing, created between 1748 and 1831, highlights the pup's unusual anatomy with labelled sketches of its head, skull, and other body parts. This type of scientific illustration was popular during the Enlightenment, as scientists sought to understand the natural world through observation and documentation. The image provides a glimpse into the study of animal anatomy and the fascination with abnormalities in the 18th century.
