Where it works
Looking down into the opened skull, Sobotta's 1919 plate maps the three cranial fossae in grey halftone, crowded with Latin labels reaching in from both margins. For a neurosurgeon's or ENT specialist's office, hung beside The Base of the Skull (from below), at 16×24 in a dark wood frame.

Size. We'd hang this one at 16×24. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.
Framing. A slim black or dark wood frame with no mat (black sharpens an engraving, dark wood warms a colour plate), hung at eye level so the plate can be read.
Pairing. Hangs alone or as a matched pair; three or more prints are 10% off.
