This detailed line engraving depicts a human forearm and hand stabilized with a long wooden or metal splint, wrapped firmly with cloth bandages at multiple points to prevent movement. The hand is positioned in slight supination with fingers extended, reflecting standard orthopedic practice of the era for fracture or sprain management. Fine cross-hatching adds depth and texture, typical of medical textbooks from the late 1800s.
