Vintage Skull Drawing

Human skull drawing from a vintage anatomy book. This black and white drawing dates back to 1852. The skull drawing was fully labeled – see the little numbers.

1. The frontal, or bone of the forehead. 2. The parietal bone. 3, The temporal bone. 4, The zygomatic process of the temporal bone. 5, The malar (cheek) bone. 6, The superior maxillary bone, (upper jaw.) 7, The vomer, that separates the cavities of the nose. 8, The inferior maxillary bone, (lower jaw.) 9. The cavity for the eye.

This would be a great drawing for anyone needing scientific images of the human body or perhaps it could be used for Halloween.
