This image by Jean-Jacques Rousseau depicts an anatomist dissecting a cadaver. While this etching was made in 1869 and published in 1889, it captures the cold environment of the dissecting room. The anatomists were the "employers" of the resurrectionists. The lack of available cadavers for educational purposes begins to dwindle from 1506 to 1752. As the demand for bodies increases, doctors begin hiring men to go out and rob graves of their tenants to be taken back to the lab and studied. This is the sort of classroom environment that Dr.K-- in "The Body Snatcher" would have taught Mr. Fetes in.
