An incunabula of French lithography, and far less common than the first edition of 1776 in which the illustrations are mezzotints. The plate by Gautier d'Agoty (one of his last), with detailed explanation by surgeon Desault (1744-1795), is considered a masterpiece. Choulant-Frank p. 270-71; Caillet 2664.
