Ambroise Pare (1510 - December 20, 1590) was a French surgeon, anatomist and inventor. He was royal surgeon for kings Henry II, Francis II, Charles IX and Henry III and is considered one of the fathers of surgery and modern forensic pathology. The 1585 edition of Pare's Oeuvres (Collected Works) represents the final summary of his life's work. It has over twelve hundred folio pages, with nearly four hundred illustrations drawing upon a lifetime of practice. This image shows an abnormal presentation of the foetus, with some rather fanciful theories on why such things happen. He also tells of a foetus found kneeling in a position of prayer, alive in the womb of his dead mother. | |
