Item description from seller

Two curious works on anatomy, each offering their own pictorial representations of the human body for medical students to look at on the go. Two intriguing illustrated pieces on anatomy, both offering readers pictorial representations of the human body, both published to the end of the nineteenth century. In quarter cloth, with the publisher's original paper boards. Both volumes contain numerous in-text illustrations and colour mannikins of the human body to the rear. By offering pictorial representations of the human body to readers, they both offered students cheaper and more practical means of studying anatomy wherever they were without having to rely on clunky or expensive plaster models. - The Human Body: A Short Account of the Anatomical Arrangement and Physiological Functions of the Various Organs of the Human Body, written by Owen Lankester - Philips' Anatomical Model: A Pictorial Representation of the Human Frame and Its Organs, written by Dr. Schmidt, with this English edition editied by William S. Furneaux. In quarter cloth, with the publisher's original paper boards. Externally, slight browning and dulling to boards, with creases to edges, mostly to the extremities. Faint spots to spine and extremities of Schmidt. Signs of browning and offsetting to end papers. Pictorial diagrams on rear pastedowns remain bright and clean. Internally, Schmidt firmly bound, and Lankester text loose from wraps. Slight age toning and spotting, mostly to first and final leaves, and to leaf extremities. Good Only.…
