We owe a great debt to
Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery
(1797–1849) for his
Atlas of Anatomy
, which was not only a massive event in medical history, but also remains one of the most
comprehensive and beautifully illustrated anatomical treatises ever published
.
Bourgery began work on his magnificent atlas in 1830 in cooperation with illustrator
Nicolas Henri Jacob
(1782–1871), a student of the French painter
Jacques Louis David
. 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.
The eight volumes of Bourgery’s treatise cover
descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques
(exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century),
general anatomy
and
embryology
, and
microscopic anatomy
. Jacob’s spectacular hand-colored lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of
direct laboratory observation
illustrative research
. 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
workings and wonder of the human body.
