Jean Baptiste Marc BOURGERY (1797-1849) Traité Complet de l'Anatomie de l'Homme Comprenant la Médecine Opératoire. Paris, C.A. Delaunay, editeur, 1831-1854.
This magnificent atlas of the 19th century utilizes color lithography to its fullest advantage. Bourgery's collaboration with Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782-1871), a student of the French painter, Jacques Louis David, produced 750 anatomical and surgical drawings. The text is by Bourgery who was a physician.
Our atlas is in twelve volumes and was presented to the library by a former Bishop of Cleveland, Ignatius Horstman. |
