Overview Obstetric Tables: comprising graphic illustrations, with descriptions and practical remarks; exhibiting on dissected plates many important subjects in midwifery by surgeon and accoucheur George Spratt is a medical text published in 1847. This anatomical codex can currently be found in the University of Pennsylvania’s Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts. Through the use of detailed chromolithography book plates or flaps this book was crafted to help students of medicine and physicians visualize the stages of pregnancy and labor, techniques and/or equipment that could be used to help progress birth, as well as different positions the baby might be in during birth. This intricately created flap anatomy is accompanied by commentary and notes from both the author and doctor, George Spratt.
