Munchen, Heinz Moos, (1967-1972) 2 volumes. 180; 207 pp. 4to. (24.5 x 29 cm.). Original cloth with dust jackets (dust jackets slightly soiled). Richly illustrated with over 770 plates and illustrations, of which ca. 90 in colour.
Vol. I: Von der Antike bis um 1600 ; vol. II: Von 1600 bis zur Gegenwart. One of the best modern work on the history of anatomical illustrations since the work of Choulant (1852; 1920; 1945). While in no way superseding the revised editions of Choulant's classic, this work provides a great deal of stockitional material, particularly on arthistorical research which has taken place during the past few decades.
