Description

Watercolour drawing of a body of a man, who met with a severe accident by falling between the footboard of a railway carriage and the platform. The skin was not torn, but on opening the abdomen it was found that the spinal column, large blood-vessels, recti muscles, and all the tissues except the skin, had been completely torn through. The drawing shows the appearance of the body after the viscera had been removed.
