A prettily illustrated late 19th century anatomical manual written in Urdu. The careful illustrations show the human skeleton and its individual parts, the muscular apparatus, the organs, the eye, a fetus in the womb, etc.

Paper browned and brittle with a few edge tears, but on the whole very well preserved.
