"Traité de l'Anatomie de l'Homme"

1866-1871

Description of the Work

"Traité de l'Anatomie " , in folio sizes with over 726 hand-colored lithographed plates (incorporating 3604 individual figures), is the most comprehensive, and perhaps the most beautiful anatomical and surgical atlas of the nineteenth century. It was published in parts over 23 years and represented the life work of Bourgery, who died before completion. Some copies were issued with the plates in black and white at half the price of the colored copies. The black and white images lack much of the visual drama of the hand-colored plates. The artist who directed the massive program of prosection, and who was responsible for 512 of the spectacular illustrations, was Nicholas-Henri Jacob (1782-1871) a student of the neo-classical painter of the French Revolution, Jacques-Louis David. Bourgery considered Jacob his full collaborator in the project. The influence of the highly finished style of David is evident in the plates for this work. Before embarking on this project Jacob had gained considerable experience drawing on stone for lithographic publications. Jacob's artistic collaborators on the project were his wife, Charlotte Hublier-Jacob, Jean Baptiste Leveillé, Edmond Pochet, E. Roussin, and others. The physiologist Claude Bernard did dissections and anatomical preparations for only two of the images, and a few captions. Bernard played a somewhat greater editorial role in the slightly expanded second edition of the work published from 1866 to 1871. For both versions the precisely-detailed hand-coloring was done by an elaborate system of stencils; otherwise the time involved in the intricate hand-coloring all of the large plates might have made the edition impossible. The anatomical images are still very useful and informative, and the surgical images are among the best illustrations of nineteenth-century intruments and operations.

Until Roberts & Tomlinson published The Fabric of the Human Body in 1992 these works, with their obvious historical importance to our views of the interior of the human body, were for the most part ignored by historians.

The condition of these prints is very good , near brand new. There is no foxing , o n white paper, that is in pristine conditions.  "ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED ANATOMICAL AND SURGICAL TREATISES EVER PUBLISHED IN ANY LANGUAGE" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1569).

Each print measures approximately  10  5/8 inches wide  - 18  7/8  inches long (32,0x43,0 cm).

Each plate is with the related descriptive text.
