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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eight volumes of Bourgery’s treatise cover \u003cb\u003edescriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques \u003c\/b\u003e (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), \u003cb\u003egeneral anatomy\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eembryology\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003emicroscopic anatomy\u003c\/b\u003e. Jacob’s spectacular hand-colored, life-size lithographs are remarkable for their clarity, color, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of \u003cb\u003edirect laboratory observation \u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eillustrative research\u003c\/b\u003e. 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 \u003cb\u003eworkings and wonder of the human body.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the Series:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBibliotheca Universalis\u003c\/i\u003e — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!\u003cbr\u003eSince we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. \u003ci\u003eBibliotheca Universalis\u003c\/i\u003e brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBookworm’s delight — never bore, always excite\u003c\/b\u003e !\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText in English, French, and German\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen America, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50067067666672,"sku":"9783836556620","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783836556620_p0.jpg?v=1784750654","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783836556620","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
