This is one of the several hundred original drawings produced by H. F. Aitken and eventually published in Warren's handbook. The text accompanying this illustration states, "The side of the skull has been cut away; the brain has been removed leaving the falx cerebri; the tunica mucosa oris is held up by hooks showing the glandula sublingualis; most of the clavicula is removed. The first rib, the trachea, glandula thyreoidea, and the cervical transverse processes, together with cut ends of the cervical nerves, are shown."
