Scientifically and aesthetically, a high point
Demonstrationum anatomico-pathologicarum liber primus, continens brachii humani fabricam et morbos -AND: Demonstrationum anatomico-pathologicarum Liber Secundus continens pelvis humanae fabricam et morbos.
Amstelaedami, apud Joann. Schreuder et Petrum Mortier Juniorem, 1760-1762. 2 vols. in 1. Imperial folio(670 x 480 mm). [VI], 22, [2]; [IV], 22, [2] p.
With 8 engraved plates after Petrus Camper by J. van der Schley (of which 3 ouline plates).
Half calf. Spine simple gold tooling with red label. Marbled paper over the boards. This work is Petrus Camper's (1722-1789) most considerable scientific work in anatomy. The very large plates on the upper limb were followed by a second volume, on the pelvis, published in 1762. The plates, some of which had accompanying outline diagrams, were engraved by J. v. d. Schley from Camper's own drawings. There were no more in this projected series, but Camper's pupil, S.T. Soemmering, after Camper's death, published Icones herniarum. Camper's plates for these anatomical and pathological books take their place alongside the illustrations prepared by the artists Lairesse and Wandelaar for the anatomists Bidloo and Albinus. Together the achievement of these atlases represent, both scientifically and aesthetically, a high point of Dutch civilization in the eighteenth century. All the representations were drawn by Camper himself and were engraved by J. van der Schley (1751-1779). The representations are nearly life-size and were designed for the practical use of surgeons.
