Estimate: $ 4,000 - $ 6,000
Albinus, [Weiss] Bernhard Siegfried (1697-1770)
Tabulae Sceleti et Musculorum Corporis Humani.
Leiden: Apud Joannem & Hermannum Verbeek, 1747.
First edition, oversized folio, engraved vignette to title, full-paged engraved dedication leaf; four leaf author's preface; illustrated with forty full-paged anatomical engravings by Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759), with typographical leaves of explanatory text accompanying each plate (or pair of plates) the first twenty-four images in pairs, in which the same subject is presented in two forms: as an outline with numbered parts; and fully shaded with backgrounds; bound in modern half leather and marbled paper boards, 27 1/2 x 19 1/4 in.
Albinus and Wandelaar worked jointly on this work, which was largely funded by Albinus himself. For accuracy, the collaborators used grid scaling to produce precise images. Clara, an 18th century rhinoceros who was touring Europe in 1741, makes two appearances in the creative backgrounds employed by Wandelaar.
