Description: In 1803, Antonio Scarpa, the famous Italian anatomist made the first accurate study of the pathological anatomy of club foot. He also made a good original club-foot shoe. He was a capable artist who illustrated his own works and taught a copper plate engraver to make his plates. These were among the finest anatomic illustrations, both as to the original pen drawings and as to copper plates, ever produced. The plates were by Faustiso Anderloni. -- H.W. Orr.
