Title: [HUMAN ANATOMY]. Ontleding des menschelyken lichaams..
Author: Bidloo, Govard (anatomist) and Gerard de Lairesse (artist)
Seller: Michael Laird Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Amsterdam: By de weduwe van Joannes van Someren, de erfgenaamen van Joannes van Dyk, Hendrik en de weduwe van Dirk Boom, 1690. Very good. Double folio broadsheet engraving, 305 x 470 mm (visible image size), matted (matte protected by clear perspex). THIS HUGE, AND QUITE STRIKING 17TH-CENTURY ANATOMICAL ENGRAVING HAS BEEN JUSTLY CELEBRATED BY PHYSICIANS AND ARTISTS FOR OVER 300 YEARS. For obvious reasons the Surrealists found it particularly fascinating. ¶ "This stark dissection -- with ragged flesh fully displayed and hands bound with a cord -- signals a commitment to a higher level of realism. To our eyes, the picture may suggest a distressing indifference to, or even pleasure in, human suffering" (Dream Anatomy, National Library of Medicine, 2003). ¶ "Govard Bidloo was born in Amsterdam in 1649 and became professor of anatomy at The Hague from 1688 to 1694, when he took the same position at Leyden. He was later appointed the physician of William III of England, who was originally Dutch, until the King's death in 1702. In that year, Bidloo returned to Leyden to take his old position until his death there in 1713. ¶ "Best known as an anatomist, Govard Bidloo's most famous work was his monumental Anatomia humani corporis published in Amsterdam in 1685, containing 107 copperplate engravings. Like so many large and expensive anatomical atlases of the time, the work was not a financial success, and in 1690 he published a Dutch translation entitled, Ontleding des menschelyken lichaams, using the same plates. The illustrations in Bidloos' work were drawn by Gerard de Lairesse (1640-1711) and engraved by Abraham Blooteling (1640-1690) and Peter van Gunst (1659?-1724?)" -- source: National Library of Medicine, Historical Anatomies on the Web. § Choulant-Frank pp. 250-253.

Title: Fulton Pittsburgh School District School Exercise Book
Author: [Women and Education] Flora Yagle
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: Fulton, Pittsburgh, 1900. Faux cloth over marbled boards with ownership label to upper left corner with school district and compiler information. Measuring 9 x 11.5 inches and comprised of 22 pages of sketches, herbal specimens, and sample essays (all recto). Firmly bound and with some dampstaining to the lower gutter not affecting text. Representing a range of exercises completed by state normal school student Flora Yagle, the book presents researchers with a range of study opportunities, including turn of the century pedagogical practice and curricula as well as genealogical and social history work regarding the family structure, work, and education of first-generation immigrants living on the East Coast. One of seven children born to German immigrants, Flora Yagle (b. 1886-7?) clearly grew up in a family that emphasized education and upward mobility. The paper label identifies Yagle as an eighth-year student, indicating that she was probably in her early teens when she completed these lessons. Census documents from around the time of her birth and childhood list her father as a foundry worker; and into her adulthood they shift to record him as the general manager of the foundry. Similar ambition was instilled in his children, who are documented in census information as students or unemployed during their childhoods, with work only appearing in their adulthoods. During Flora's youth, she had brothers working as clerks and bookkeepers. By the time of her adulthood, she has become a school clerk while her sister has obtained a position as a librarian. Part of Flora's training would have been conducted at the Fulton Elementary School located in Pittsburgh's Highland Park. A neighborhood for the rising middle class, Highland Park and its schools were still in their infancy while Flora was in hers; while the residential district had been opened in 1879, the school was founded in 1894, and both intended to provide fresh air, open spaces, and pleasant living to skilled workers and their families who were flocking to Pittsburgh for its work opportunities. Historically, Pennsylvania had been a vanguard for public and progressive education. "In his 1830 address to the state legislature, Governor George Wold championed the cause of universal public education" as a scaffold for "the security and stability of the individual privileges we have inherited from our ancestors" (Explore History). Before the decade was over, "more than 1,000 local school districts under a single statewide system of instruction" had been founded, working to regularize "educational standards, curriculum, and instructional credentials" in tandem with the 1857 Normal School Act which founded "a network of ten state academies to prepare public school teachers" (Explore History). Flora's generation was a beneficiary of these policies. Her notebook shows a range of work, with creativity and visual arts central to her learning. In addition to pressed floral specimens (likely from the school grounds or her home garden), her book also contains a visual and textual representation of the spectrum of colors in a rainbow; illustrated lotus blossoms with a short essay on the botanical facts and cultural uses of the flower in Egypt; black and white sketches focused on perspective and shading; geometrical figures designed to be cut out and folded (but here present); and figure drawings of children in Victorian clothing much like she and her classmates would wear. US Census 1890, 1900, 1910, 1920.
