‎ A very good copy of the rare first French edition of Smellie's magnificent obstetrical atlas: "A sett (sic) of Anatomical Tables, with Explanations, and an Abridgment, of the Practice of Midwifery, with a view to illustrate a Treatise on the Subject, and Collection of Cases" (London, 1754). This fine work was published to illustrate Smellie's text (1752-1764), is absolutely COMPLETE in itself. Of the 39 plates, 26 are from the originals of Jan van Rymsdyk (ca. 1730-1790), 11 by Pieter Camper (1722-89), the two remaining, probably by Smellie. In this French edition the plates are in reduced format. Smellie is considered one of the greatest pioneers in scientific obstetrics, both Camper and Van Rymsdyk are amongst the greatest medical illustrators of the 18th century. Choulant-Frank, p. 75 ff.; Garrison & Morton, 6154; Thornton, "Jan van Rymsdyk, p. 10-21.‎
