    About this ebook

    This magnificent art book re-creates an extremely rare 1849 guide to anatomy, originally compiled for "artists, painters, and sculptors." Unavailable for more than 150 years, this classic work features 30 plates with 105 highly detailed and finely executed black-and-white lithographs.
    These realistic and meticulously accurate drawings illustrate form as well as function, offering artists a mastery of anatomy through careful, knowledgeable articulation of the muscles and bones beneath the skin. Each image appears with an identifying caption, and this new edition offers the convenience of a CD-ROM that includes every illustration from the book. In addition to its value as a resource for practicing artists, this beautiful browsing book will captivate anyone who has an interest in the human body.

      Publisher’s Note

      Human Anatomy for Artists, a reprinting of the 1849 edition of The Anatomy of the External Forms of Man, Intended for the Use of Artists, Painters and Sculptors (published by Hippolyte Baillière, London) makes widely available a classic reference for artists and art students. Doctor J. Fau’s lithographic engravings, and the accompanying notes by Robert Knox, M.D., present a clinical, yet aesthetically pleasing, approach to the human form in all of its sublime beauty and stunning complexity. The mysteries beneath the skin—the vertebrae, bones, ligaments, and muscles—are thoroughly catalogued in a variety of poses, both male and female; representations of children are included as well.
