Cheselden (William). Osteographia, Or the Anatomy of the Bones, 1st edition, 1733, engraved frontispiece, title with engraved vignette, engraved royal arms on separate sheet, engraved dedication, (with deer skeleton to verso), 29 engraved illustrations, 112 engraved plates (complete), comprising two sets of plates numbered I-LVI by Jacob Schijnvoet and Gerard van der Gucht, first set lettered with explanatory text to verso, second set unlettered and without text, plate LVI of first set with deer skeleton to verso; plate LVI of the second set with obelisk ruin in red, historiated initials, occasional light spotting and toning, endpapers renewed, hinges reinforced, contemporary half calf, rebacked, corners chipped, folio. The most famous and among the most artistically interesting osteological atlases ever produced` (Norman), the first full and accurate description of human skeletal anatomy. One of only 400 copies, `which being finished, the plates shall be destroyed that the price of the book may never sink in the possession of the subscribers` (from To the Reader`). The accuracy of the drawing of the large plates of bones is derived from Cheselden`s innovative use of the camera obscura (the use of which is depicted on the title vignette and used for the first time solely for book illustration). The thick paper and large folio format allowed for life-size illustrations of separate human bones. William Cheselden (1688-1752) studied anatomy under William Cowper (1666-1709), becoming full surgeon at St Thomas`s Hospital in 1720. A pioneer of surgical techniques in bladder stone removal and ophthalmics, he is credited with performing the first known successful case of restorative eye surgery on a blind 13-year-old boy, an iridotomy, using a cataract-extraction knife to create an artificial pupil.
