ALBINUS (Bernardi Siegfried) Tabulae Sceleti et Musculorum Corporis Humani. Lugduni Batavorum (Leiden), Verbeek, 1747. Followed by Tabulae Ossium Humanorum. (Leide, Verbeek, 1753). 2 parts in one volume in plano: 6f, 40 plates out of text on copper engraved by J. Wandelaar with explanatory text leaves of the plates - 75 plates out of text on copper. A total of 115 plates protected by modern covers. All in all, a few plates with light staining in the margins or small restorations at the edges. Modern Bradel-style vellum, handwritten title on upper board, brown leather bands with vellum diamond decoration on boards and spine, bevelled corners, leather strap closure. In a cardboard box. One of the most artistically successful and perhaps the most monumental anatomical atlases ever published. The most famous plate in the atlas depicts a skeletal figure standing in front of an enormous grazing rhinoceros, made from the first living specimen to arrive at the Amsterdam Zoo in 1741. Albinius is considered, along with Vesalius and Fallopius, to be one of the three great founders of modern anatomy.
