Bourgery embarked on the creation of his magnificent atlas in 1830, collaborating with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob (1782–1871), a student of the renowned French painter Jacques Louis David. The first volumes of the atlas were published the following year, but the completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of unwavering dedication from Bourgery. Tragically, he 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 passing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe eight volumes of Bourgery's treatise encompass a wide range of subjects, including descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques (detailing nearly all the major operations performed during the first half of the 19th century), general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacobs's spectacular hand-colored lithographs are truly remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal. They reflect a harmonious blend of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research, resulting in images that offer exceptional anatomical insight. These images are not only valuable to those in the medical field but also to artists, students, and anyone with a deep interest in the workings and wonders of the human body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBourgery's Atlas of Anatomy stands as a testament to his unwavering dedication and remarkable talent. It remains a cornerstone of medical education and a source of inspiration for generations to come. Through his meticulous work, Bourgery has left an indelible mark on the field of anatomy, and his legacy continues to be celebrated and admired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4166g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 266 x 364 x 55 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783836568982                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Marie Le Minor,Henri Sick","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103553450234,"sku":"9783836568982","price":57.12,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/14cdb95b3dc0e7c3345327bb3970251d.jpg?v=1624585527","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/bourgery-atlas-of-human-anatomy-and-surgery-1","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
