About John LizarsJohn Lizars (1787—1860) was a Scottish surgeon, anatomist and medical author. After obtaining his MD from Edinburgh University, Lizars served as a surgeon in the Royal Navy off the coasts of Spain and Portugal during the Peninsular War. He later returned to Edinburgh University to teach anatomy and surgery at which time he produced A System of Anatomical Plates of the Human Body based on his dissections of the human body.

"This superb atlas is certainly one of the most elegant works of the nineteenth century" (Cushing L313)...."
