About the Author
Edward Pernkopf was an Austrian anatomist and professor whose work is chiefly associated with Atlas of Topographical and Applied Human Anatomy- Volume 1- Head and Neck, a richly illustrated reference in the history of anatomical publishing. Produced during the mid-twentieth century, the atlas is noted for its detailed topographical studies and highly rendered plates, while also being the subject of sustained ethical discussion because of the circumstances surrounding its creation and historical context. Pernkopf’s legacy therefore occupies a complex place at the intersection of medical education, scientific illustration, and the responsibilities of scholarly practice.
