COWPER, William. Anatomia corporum humanorum. [Leiden, 1739].
Broadsheets (533 x 370 mm). Engraved title and 115 engraved plates. (Lacks text leaves, some wear and chipping at sheet edges, some occasional dampstaining.) Unbound; folding cloth portfolio.
Set of plates without text from the 1739 Latin translation of Cowper's version of Bidloo's anatomy. Because of the improvements that Cowper made his version, rather than Bidloo's, was reprinted three times in the eighteenth century--once in English and twice in Latin.
