"Ms Hunter 654 Plate 10" is a notable drawing from a set of obstetrical illustrations created by the Dutch artist Jan van Rymsdyk for the 18th-century Scottish obstetrician William Smellie's "Obstetrical Tables." These tables, published in the mid-1700s, were a significant contribution to the field of obstetrics and provided detailed visual representations of childbirth, fetal positions, and various obstetrical instruments and techniques.

Jan van Rymsdyk, an accomplished medical illustrator, was renowned for his precise and detailed anatomical drawings. His work on Smellie's "Obstetrical Tables" is considered a masterpiece of medical illustration, combining both artistic skill and scientific accuracy. Plate 10, in particular, is one of the series that showcases van Rymsdyk's ability to depict the complexities of childbirth and the human anatomy with clarity and finesse.

William Smellie is often referred to as the "father of British midwifery," and his "Obstetrical Tables" played a crucial role in the standardization and improvement of obstetrical practices. The collaboration between Smellie and van Rymsdyk resulted in a work that not only served as an educational tool for midwives and physicians of the time but also stands as a historical document reflecting the medical knowledge and techniques of the 18th century.

The "Ms Hunter 654 Plate 10" drawing, along with the rest of the series, is housed in the historical collections of the University of Glasgow Library, which holds a significant number of William Hunter's books and manuscripts. Hunter, a contemporary of Smellie and a fellow obstetrician, was also a notable anatomist and collector, and his library reflects his wide-ranging interests in medicine and the arts. The preservation of these drawings provides invaluable insight into the history of medicine and the evolution of obstetrical practices.
