Pag. OBrosch. Mit eighd. Widm. und allen sechs Tafeln. - Hds. Buntstift-Buchstabe a. T., leichte Gbrsp., Lichtschatten, etw. angestaubt, leicht stockfleckig. - Gustaf Retzius, (1842 - 1919), was one of Sweden s most prominent scientists in the late 1800s and the first years of the 20th century. He worked in several fields: histology, neurology, anatomy, physiology, to name the most important. He also did research in physical anthropology, and that has been the reason for more or less well founded criticism in later years. - Magnus Gustaf Retzius was the son of the famous anatomist Anders Adolf Retzius (1796-1860) and the grandson of the naturalist and chemist Anders Johan Retzius (1742-1821). Retzius enrolled at the Uppsala University in 1860 and received his medicine kandidat degree there in 1866. He transferred to the Karolinska Institutet where he became medicine licentiat in 1869 and completed his doctorate in medicine in 1871 at the University of Lund. In 1877 he received an extraordinary professorship in histology at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, and in 1889 he was appointed to the chair of anatomy. However, he resigned his position already in 1890 after conflicts with other members of the institute. From then on he concentrated his efforts in scientific work his wealthy marriage actually allowed him to pursue his research and writing without employment. Retzius anatomical and histological work concern in particular the sense organs of vertebrates and invertebrates. In humans he studied the anatomy of the brain and the nervous system. His book Das Menschenhirn (The Human Brain) was perhaps the most important work on the anatomy of the brain written in the nineteenth century. He also gave important contributions to the anatomical description of the muscles of the eardrum, the bones orf the middle ear and the eustachian tube, and he conducted research on the human reproductive cells and the development of the foetus. He is particularly remembered for his studies of the histology of the sense organs and nervous system. (Zitat) Sprache: deutsch.

First Edition
2 volumes, folio. (16 x 12 inches). Half-titles. 75 fine plates after N. O. Björkman, Th. Lundberg and A. Rosengren (comprised of 57 lithographs [3 folding, 25 printed in two or more colours] by Schlacter & Seedorff (Stockholm), or J.G.E. N. Strassberger, J.G. Bach or E.A. Funke [all of Leipzig]; 18 uncoloured engravings by W. Grohmann [Berlin], Jenny Hansen [Copenhagen] or Thornam [Copenhagen]). Publisher's brown half morocco over cloth-covered boards, title in gilt on upper covers, spines in five compartments with raised bands, lettered in gilt in the second and fourth compartments, volume numbers in gilt in the third, gilt edges. The first edition of this important and beautifully printed and illustrated colour-plate book and a landmark work in the history of neuropathology which established the reputations of its authors. "As a work of art and of scientific accuracy, the two volumes of beautifully colored lithographs rank with the best [medical] atlases of any age" (Heirs of Hippocrates). "One of the most strikingly beautiful neuroanatomies ever published, with exquisite reproductions of the colour dye injection experiments. The authors confirmed the existence of the foramina of Magendie and Luschka, and studied the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid" (Garrison-Morton). The coloured plates have the spectacularly-beautiful quality of 20th-century abstract art compositions, whilst still clearly showing the organic nature of the origins of the images. These were produced by artist/technicians who were absolute masters of their medium: they are not only an important record of scientific discovery but also a monument to the technically most-accomplished period in lithographic printing. Axel Key, professor of pathological anatomy and rector of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, together with his assistant, Gustaf Retzius, published this work on the anatomy of the nervous system with special regard to the cerebrospinal fluid pathways. This magnum opus met wide international success. Because of it, Key became one of the leading authorities in the emerging discipline of neuropathology, and one of the most influential figures in European academic medicine in the late 19th century. Retzius dedicated much of the rest of his life to scientific research, particularly the histology of the sense organs and nervous system, and went on to publish over 300 scientific works on a wide range of subjects. This set is without the supplement (76 pp. and 8 plates, Stockholm, 1903) as usual: this was apparently limited to just 25 copies.
