Abstract 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. Clin. Anat. 22:291–295, 2009. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
