The English anatomist Henry Gray was born in 1827. He studied the development of the endocrine glands and spleen and in 1853 was appointed Lecturer on Anatomy at St George's Hospital Medical School in London. In 1855, he approached his colleague Henry Vandyke Carter with his idea to produce an inexpensive and accessible anatomy textbook for medical students. Dissecting unclaimed bodies from workhouse and hospital mortuaries through the Anatomy Act of 1832, the two worked for 18 months on what would form the basis of the book. Their work was first published in 1858 by John William Parker in London. It was dedicated by Gray to Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie, 1st Baronet. An imprint of this English first edition was published in the United States in 1859, with slight alterations. Gray prepared a second, revised edition, which was published in the United Kingdom in 1860, also by J.W. Parker. However, Gray died the following year, at the age of 34, having contracted smallpox while treating his nephew (who survived). His death had come just three years after the initial publication of his Anatomy Descriptive and Surgical.

About NanoRosetta®
We believe in connecting generations and preserving legacies forever on a tiny format that lasts forever.
NanoRosetta is an innovative way to record stories in metal that lasts for thousands of years on a medallion the size of a dime. Pass it on for generations.
Photos and stories are nano-engraved on a shiny metal medallion and sealed with a crystal and easily retrieved with just light and optics.
All pendants and dog tags can be customized with engraved names on the back for that perfect unique gift.
NanoRosetta® is the high speed technology behind the nano-engraving process. The patented process creates 5 billion pixels image to make up a yearbook. This is five times larger than NASA’s largest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy.
To recover the images, we use a 20 Megapixel camera or a lab quality microscope. In the near future all the photos on the medallion will be easily recovered by a mobile phone.
