Georg Christian Oeder was a student of Albrecht von Haller, a professor of medicine, anatomy, surgery, and botony at the University of Göttingen. Von Haller is notable for his 8 volume work "Elementa Physiologiae Corporis Humani" ("Physiological Elements of the Human Body"). Oeder's work was commissioned by the Danish minister Johann Hartwig von Bernstorff in 1752. The work came to an early end when Oeder was called to Oldenburg in 1772. Only 600 plates were produced. Subsequent editions totalled 3240 by 1883.
