Jacob","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eWe owe a great debt to \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eJean Baptiste Marc Bourgery \u003c\/span\u003e(1797–1849) for his \u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eAtlas of Anatomy\u003c\/span\u003e, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ecomprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with illustrator \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eNicolas Henri Jacob\u003c\/span\u003e (1782–1871), a student of the French painter \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eJacques Louis David\u003c\/span\u003e. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe eight volumes of Bourgery’s treatise cover \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003edescriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques \u003c\/span\u003e(exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003egeneral anatomy\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eembryology\u003c\/span\u003e, and \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003emicroscopic anatomy\u003c\/span\u003e. Jacob’s spectacular hand-colored lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003edirect laboratory observation \u003c\/span\u003eand \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eillustrative research\u003c\/span\u003e. 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 \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eworkings and wonder of the human body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover, 829 pages. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53433712050476,"sku":"9783836556620","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0456\/5029\/files\/20260714_105037.jpg?v=1784056377","url":"https:\/\/curiousnatureshop.com\/products\/atlas-of-human-anatomy-and-surgery-by-j-m-bourgery-n-h-jacob","provider":"Curious Nature","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
