HUNTER, William (1718-1783). Anatomia uteri humani gravidi tabulis illustrata. The Anatomy of the Human Gravid Uterus exhibited in Figures . Birmingham: John Baskerville 1774. Broadsheets (645 x 457 mm.) 34 engraved plates (some dampstaining, plate VIII with image slightly cropped along outer margin, a few others trimmed close, a few repaired tears). Modern half calf (light rubbing to spine and edges). Provenance : Haskell F. Norman (bookplate; his sale part II, Christie's New York, 15 June 1998, lot 538); from the collection of Dean Edell. FIRST EDITION. "ONE OF THE FINEST ANATOMICAL ATLASES EVER TO BE PRODUCED" (Garrison-Morton). "This work ... contains life-sized figures which not only are anatomically accurate but are themselves works of art. Hunter spent more than twenty-five years preparing this atlas, employed artists to prepare the engravings at enormous expense to himself, and entrusted the printing of the work to John Baskerville the greatest English printer of the 18th century. This monumental work is, indeed, one of the great publications of world medical literature as well as a classic of book production" ( Heirs of Hippocrates ).
