Little is generally known of Henry Gray, the author of Gray's Anatomy, and even less of his colleague Henry Vandyke Carter, who played a vital role in the dissections and illustrations leading to the production of the first volume in 1859. This essay attempts to sketch briefly the salient, know aspects of these two men and their divergent careers. It traces succinctly the subsequent fate of the unique anatomy book that has influenced and instructed almost every student of medicine.
人们对《格雷氏解剖学》的作者亨利·格雷普遍了解甚少，对他的同事亨利·万代克·卡特更是知之甚少，而卡特在1859年第一卷《格雷氏解剖学》的解剖和插图绘制过程中发挥了至关重要的作用。本文试图简要勾勒这两人的显著、为人所知的方面以及他们截然不同的职业生涯。它简要追溯了这本独特的解剖学书籍随后的命运，这本书几乎影响并指导了每一位医学生。
