FIRST EDITION OF "ONE OF THE FINEST ANATOMICAL ATLASES EVER TO BE PRODUCED" (Garrison-Morton), containing life-sized figures "which not only are anatomically accurate but are themselves works of art. Hunter spent more than twenty-five years preparing this atlas, employed artists to prepare the engravings at enormous expense to himself, and entrusted the printing of the work to John Baskerville, the greatest English printer of the 18th century. This monumental work is, indeed, one of the great publications of world medical literature as well as a classic of book production" (Heirs of Hippocrates). Several of the additional plates are taken from James Hogben's Anatomical tables illustrative of his Treatise on midwifery intituled Obstetric studies, 1811.
