The first volumes were published the following year, but completion of the treatise required nearly two decades of dedication. Bourgery lived just long enough to finish his labour of love, but the last of the treatise's eight volumes was not published in its entirety until five years after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe eight volumes of Bourgery's treatise cover \u003cb\u003edescriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques\u003c\/b\u003e (exploring in detail nearly all the major operations that were performed during the first half of the 19th century), \u003cb\u003egeneral anatomy and embryology\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003emicroscopic anatomy\u003c\/b\u003e. Jacob's spectacular \u003cb\u003ehand-coloured lithographs\u003c\/b\u003e are remarkable for their clarity, colour, and aesthetic appeal, reflecting a combination of \u003cb\u003edirect laboratory observation\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eillustrative research\u003c\/b\u003e. Unsurpassed to this day, the images offer exceptional anatomical insight, not only for those in the medical field but also for artists, students, and anyone interested in the \u003cb\u003eworkings and wonder of the human body\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47595854397676,"sku":"9783836568982","price":195.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783836568982-bourgery.jpg?v=1777909303"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/henri-sick.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
