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 in any language. Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1839 to accompany the text volumes that had began publication in 1831, and the eight-volume collection was finally completed in 1854, five years after his death. The four parts of Bourgery's treatise cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (covering 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. The spectacular hand-colored lithographs were created by Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782-1871), a student of the French painter Jacques Louis David, and most of the life-size images are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research; the images are to this day unsurpassed in anatomical illustration. This reprint includes the complete color plates - 726 in total - and will finally allow not only those in the medical field but also artists, students, and anyone interested in the study of the human body to appreciate this important historical work.
