Condition: Very Good. We owe a great debt to Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery (1797-1849) for his Atlas of Anatomy, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published. Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782-1871), a student of the French painter Jacques Louis David. The first volumes were published the following year, but completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication; Bourgery lived just long enough to finish his labor of love, but the last of the treatise's eight volumes was not published in its entirety until five years after his death. The eight volumes of Bourgery's treatise cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacob's spectacular hand-colored, life-size lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research. Unsurpassed to this day, the images offer exceptional anatomical insight, not only for those in the medical field but also for artists, students, and anyone interested in the workings and wonder of the human body.--.

Claude Bernard collabora à cette somme médicale à partir de 1845, en présentant des pièces anatomiques. Quelques rousseurs et saines mouillures éparses sur la plupart des volumes, plusieurs charnières renforcées (mais les mors sont encore bien attachés et solides), d'infimes traces de frottement sur les reliures, sinon bel état de conservation pour ce monument de la médecine et de l'anatomie, superbement illustré, dans une belle et solide reliure d'époque. Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery, né à Orléans en 1797 et mort à Paris en 1849, entre à l'Ecole de médecine de Paris dès 1811. Elève brillant de Lamarck et Laennec, externe en 1815, interne l'année suivante, il obtient notamment, en 1819, la médaille d'or des hôpitaux de Paris. Après avoir exercé en tant qu'officier de santé dans une fonderie de cuivre près de Rouen, à l'issue de son internat, il retourne à Paris en 1827. Il soutient alors sa thèse de doctorat sur « l'emploi des ligatures circulaires des membres dans la plupart des maladies périodiques », qu'il dédie à Guillaume Dupuytren, son mentor. La parution de ces travaux, ainsi que celle d'un Traité de petite chirurgie (1828), rencontre un certain succès. C'est grâce au mécénat du baron Benjamin Delessert qu'il peut ensuite entreprendre, à partir de 1829, son ?uvre majeure, le Traité complet de l'anatomie de l'homme, publié entre 1831 et 1854 (le dernier tome, à titre posthume), salué par ses pairs et de nombreuses personnalités intellectuelles et artistiques (Cuvier, Michelet, Delécluze, Claude Bernard, Hirschfeld?). Durant les vingt dernières années de sa vie, tout en se consacrant essentiellement à cet ouvrage monumental, il étudie la respiration, le système nerveux, les structures des poumons, du c?ur, de la rate, de la thyroïde, etc. En outre, le docteur Félix Thibert lui avait confié la direction du Musée d'anatomie imitative, qu'il avait fondé rue du Montparnasse : il en réalise certaines pièces en carton-pâte, afin de préciser et moderniser les représentations de diverses lésions viscérales (jusqu'alors fabriquées en cire). Candidat malheureux à plusieurs postes ou fonctions de prestige, il confesse son amertume vis-à-vis de ce manque de reconnaissance dans le huitième volume du Traité (« Aujourd'hui, après vingt ans, je ne suis rien et je n'attends plus rien. J'en ai fini de cette révélation singulière: c'est le cri de vingt ans d'oppression qui m'échappe.
