Description
Paris: J.-B. Balliere, 1857. First edition. 200 FOLIO ENGRAVED, HAND-COLORED PLATES OF ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY "AMONG THE FINEST EVER PUBLISHED". Two folio hardcover volumes, 32 x 49 cm, marbled paper covered boards, green leather spine with raised bands, gilt title to spine, Vol. I, title page, 94 copper plates, each with multiple images, with tissue guard and intleaving letterpress descriptive text. Vol. II, title page, 106 plates with interleaving letterpress descriptive text. Almost all plates finely hand colored. Minimal wear to covers, browning to tissue guards and faded water stains top margin of several plates in Vol. I, not affecting images. A brilliant copy of this magnificant atlas of anatomic pathology. GARRISON-MORTON No. 2297.1 Lebert set out to cover both general and special pathology. The superb hand-colored folio-sized copperplate engravings of macro- and micropathology in this work are among the finest ever published. HERMANN LEBERT (1813 – 1878) was a German physician and naturalist. After he received his medical doctorate (Zürich, 1834), he traveled throughout Switzerland, studying botany. For the next year and a half he studied in Paris, particularly under Baron Guillaume Dupuytren and Pierre Charles Alexandre Louis. In 1838 he settled in Bex, later changing between Bex and Paris. From 1842 to 1845 he worked mainly in comparative anatomy. In 1853 he accepted an invitation to become professor of clinical medicine in Zürich, and six years later he moved on to Breslau, where he held the same job. In 1862, he was elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society. In 1874 he returned to Bex, Switzerland, where he spent the rest of his life. Lebert was among the first to use the microscope in pathological anatomy, and thus contributed importantly to both pathology and clinical medicine. Traite d'Anatomie Pathologique (offered here) was Lebert's magnum opus. Combined with the superb detail of the illustrations by Peter Lackerbauer reproduced as copperplate engravings, it goes beyond Cruveilhier's famous Anatomie pathologique du corps humain (1829–1842) that includes only special pathology. "The first volume contains a historical overview of pathological–anatomical iconography followed by a comprehensive essay on general pathology with relevant clinical case histories. The second volume is entirely dedicated to special pathology and also includes case histories and, among them, cases of tumor pathology. The scope of the two atlases is remarkable with the 200 large and mainly colored plates of the highest quality designed by outstanding artists such as the draftsman Lackerbauer and the engravers Oudet and Visto. The complete work was produced by the fine-art printers L. Martinet in Paris. To further emphasize the magnificence of the work, we note that each plate contains a minimum of ten and usually many more individual illustrations."--Pickel. Virchows Arch (2009) 455:301–305. PETER LACKERBAUER (1823-1872). a prolific scientific illustrator of Swiss origin, who worked with Louis Pasteur, Claude Bernard and other scientists. More than twenty books have plates credited to Lackerbauer. For Pasteur he drew images of cells as seen in the field of a microscope. He also produced illustrations, including subtly varied tubes of wine under different conditions, for Pasteur's "Études sur le vin" (1866), and delicate color images of the life cycle of silkworms for another major publication, "Études sur la maladie des vers à soie" (1870).

Description
San Francisco, California: Pomegranate, 2009. First Edition. Large Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 152x8x148. First edition. A fine copy in a fine jacket. 2009 Large Hardcover. 96 pp. When Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) designed the Darwin D. Martin House complex (1903-1905), he filled the windows, doors, skylights, and laylights with nearly four hundred pieces of his signature art glass. The spectacular designs, abstractions of the architecture and surrounding environment, are among some of Wright's finest. These "light screens," as Wright called them, were fundamental to his principle of "bringing the outside in" by blurring the line between enclosed and open spaces. Despite the site-specific nature of Wright's art glass, nearly three-quarters of the pieces at the Martin House complex have been removed--many of them distributed to museums and private collections throughout the world. Today, due to the tremendous reconstruction efforts by the Martin House Restoration Corporation, the art glass designs are being restored to their original home. Only now, in their original context, is it possible to fully appreciate the importance of these "light screens" to Wright's overall composition for the Martin House complex.
