Description
Section of both hemispheres of the human brain, showing three ‘vesicles’ in the right hemisphere.
The author states in accompanying text that this is: “A representation of three vesicles...occupying the greater part of the anterior and middle lobes...The fluid contained in these vesicles was of a straw colour, and had very much the appearance of the serum of the blood...”

Inscribed: “PLATE XIV. J.Howship, delt. J.Stewart sculpt. VESICLES OF THE BRAIN. Published by Dr. Hooper. Jany.1826.”
