Antommarchi (Francesco). Planches anatomiques du corps humain executees d’apres les dimensions naturelles..., 1st edition, Paris: Impr. Lithographique de C.

A rare complete first edition with accompanying text volume of this impressive and important anatomical work. This is known as the pirated lithograph edition of Paolo Mascagni’s ‘Anatomia universa’ (Pisa, 1823-32). This monumental work with its life-size copperplate anatomical images was left unfinished at his death. Antommarchi, who had been Mascagni’s pupil and colleague, edited two of his works following his death in 1815. However, Antommarchi and Mascagni’s heirs quarrelled over money, and by early 1819 Antommarchi left Italy to become Napoleon’s physician at St. Helena, taking with him copies of, among other things, impressions of about thirty plates of the ‘Anatomia Universa’. In 1822, Antommarchi travelled to Paris where he ‘met with the Comte de Lasteyrie, and together they decided to reproduce the Universal Anatomy in lithography, copying the figures from the impressiona Antommarchi had taken when he left for St. Helena. The work proceeded quickly, for they know from a prospectus that the official Universal Anatomy was to start publication, as it did, the next year, 1823... Remarkably, the first of a total of fifteen parts was ready in Paris also in 1823, demonstrating the clear advantage of lithography in terms of speed - an engraver making new plates would have completed the task in years, not months. The first part of the Parisian edition was for sale actually earlier than that of the Pisan edition, and the former completed publication by 1826, while the latter was not complete until 1832. The plates in the two editions are not exactly the same, since in both changes had been made to the original designs; Antommarchi had prepared a few entirely new plates. The size of the pages and images in the two editions were similar (Roberts & Tomlinson, pp 384-96). The Comte de Lasteyrie was one of the founders of lithography in France and these are likely the largest works issued by his press. The life-size figures at the front of the plate volume are shown standing on a Vesalian landscape, a feature not present in the engraved edition. Choulant-Frank pp 319-20. (2)

The Congress took place at the large amphitheatre of the Sorbonne, the precise place where the modern Olympic Movement was born and the IOC created 23rd June 1894. The 1914 Congress was also the occasion that the Olympic Rings were adopted. The Rings had been designed by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the Modern Olympic Games, in 1912. In his own words the “The emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914 ... five intertwined rings in different colours-blue, yellow, black, green, and red-are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition.” According to De Coubertin the ring colours together with the white background stood for all the colours that appeared on the national flags of the world at that time. However, with the outbreak of the First World War the Olympic Rings would not fly at a Games until Antwerp in 1920.

The Games were then awarded to Helsinki, runners-up in the original bidding process. However, the Olympic Games were then suspended indefinitely following the outbreak of World War II. Sysimetsa’s design was revived when Helsinki were awarded the Games in 1952. The text was re-written and the Finnish borders with the Soviet Union had to be re-drawn on the map.
