116 Jacques de Sève – Anatomical Study of Infants with Developmental Anomalies

This rare copperplate engraving by Jacques de Sève presents three detailed views of infants exhibiting developmental anomalies. Created for Buffon's Histoire Naturelle, the illustration reflects the 18th-century scientific interest in teratology and the classification of congenital conditions. The numbered figures are rendered with anatomical precision, balancing medical curiosity with the graphic style typical of the period's medical documentation.
