ANTOMMARCHI, Francesco (1780?-1838). Planches anatomiques du corps humain executees d'apres les dimensions naturelle. Paris: Lasteyrie, 1825.
ANTOMMARCHI, Francesco (1780?-1838). Planches anatomiques du corps humain executees d'apres les dimensions naturelle. Paris: Lasteyrie, 1825. 2° (620 x 503 mm). 2 double-page printed titles within lithographic borders and 83 double-page lithographic plates (including 35 plates in 2 states [plates 1-18, 25-32, 36-38, 40, 42, 44, 45, 47 and 48] and 13 individual plate). (Title and last plate torn and repaired.) 20th-century red half morocco and marbled boards. Provenance : from the collection of Dean Edell. FIRST EDITION, published under Antommarchi's name. The pirated lithograph edition of Mascagni's Anatomia universa (Pisa, 1823-32). Antommarchi's version of the atlas was issued in 15 parts between 1823 and 1826 by the lithographic press of the Comte de Lasteyrie one of the two founders of lithography in France. The first part of the pirated lithograph edition appeared before that of the official engraved edition, thus the first few plates of the pirated edition, though subtly different, may technically be considered the first published versions of the images. Prior to this publication Antommarchi edited other posthumous publications of his teacher and colleague Mascagni. Differences arose between Antommarchi and the society formed on behalf of the Mascagni heirs, most likely because the sale of the two previous posthumous works had been poor. The society dissolved and the contract with Anommarchi was annulled by court decision. In early 1819 Antommarchi left Italy to become Napoleon's physician on the island of St. Helena where Napoleon was imprisoned, taking with him impressions of about thirty plates of the Anatomia Universa . In 1822, Antommachi went to Paris, most likely for the purpose of publishing the Mascagni plates. A companion text volume entitled Explication des planches anatomiques du corps humain (1826) is not present here. The first 42 plates form 8 complete life-size standing male figures made-up by 3 plates each. Choulant-Frank pp. 319-20; see Garrison-Morton 409.1; Hirsch-Hubotter I, 154; Roberts & Tomlinson, pp. 384-96; Twyman, Lithography 1800-1850 , pp. 50-52.
