"Operating on a Cancerous Tumour" is an anatomical illustration by Nicolas Henri Jacob, a French artist and illustrator renowned for his medical and anatomical drawings. Jacob, born in 1782, was a pupil of the famous painter Jacques-Louis David and later became closely associated with the French anatomist Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery. He is best known for his contributions to Bourgery's monumental work, "Traité complet de l’anatomie de l’homme" (Complete Treatise on the Anatomy of Man), which was published in eight volumes between 1831 and 1854.

The illustration "Operating on a Cancerous Tumour" is likely one of the many plates Jacob produced for Bourgery's treatise, which included over 700 detailed plates of surgical procedures, anatomy, and medical techniques of the time. Jacob's work was characterized by its precision and clarity, which made it an invaluable resource for medical professionals and students. His drawings often depicted various stages of surgical procedures, providing a visual guide to the complex techniques used in early 19th-century medicine.

The specific work "Operating on a Cancerous Tumour" would depict the surgical process of removing a cancerous growth, showcasing the anatomical details and the surgical approach of the era. Such illustrations were crucial for the education of surgeons and for advancing the understanding of oncological surgery. Jacob's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the texture and structure of human tissues contributed to the lasting value of his illustrations in the history of medical education.

As an artist, Nicolas Henri Jacob's legacy lies in the intersection of art and science, and his illustrations remain significant for their historical and educational value. "Operating on a Cancerous Tumour," as with his other works, would not only serve as a record of medical knowledge and practices of the 19th century but also as a testament to the skill and artistry that Jacob brought to the field of medical illustration.
