"Medicine - Anatomy - With 9 lithographed plates. Contemporary green half leather, silk on covers, gilt edges, gilt ruled borders on cover (somewhat rubbed and spotted, edges slightly bumped). - Very rare work after Houdon's anatomical plaster statuette by Aulich, teacher for scientific and anatomical drawing at the University of Leipzig and the physician Salomon. ""The osteologic and myologic plates are very praiseworthy, not so the skeletons which are drawn superficially, vaguely, and arbitrarily. The representations of single organs on the ninth plate, besides being useless to the artist (at least as they are drawn), are not wholly correct anatomically. The printing of the finished plates is sooty. The text is copious, scientifically instructive, and not merely explanatory."" (Choulant/Frank 347) In 1842, both authors published an anatomical atlas with the same publisher, which is considered the forerunner of this large-format atlas. The introduction was written by the German portraitist Veit Hanns Friedrich Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1764-1841), director of the Leipzig Academy of Arts. - With occasional brown spots. Good copy."
