With his neatly groomed moustache and intelligent gaze, he exudes an air of wisdom and authority.

Professor Balfour's dedication to embryology is evident in this image, reflecting his passion for unraveling the mysteries surrounding human development. His work paved the way for future advancements in this scientific discipline. The print provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century Britain, showcasing both its intellectual pursuits and adventurous spirit.
