[GAUTIER d'AGOTY, Arnaud Eloi, illustrator]. JADELOT, M. Cours complet d'anatomie. Nancy: Jean-Baptiste-Hyacinthe LeClerc, 1773.
2o (610 x 468 mm). 15 color mezzotints (some creasing, some small areas of images lightly rubbed). Contemporary marbled boards (19th-century rebacking in morocco, board edges rubbed).
FIRST EDITION. "These fifteen plates follow a scheme of progress, from the classical figures at the start, to skeletal hands and feet; or we can see it as a strip performance, from fully clad nudes by stages to muscle and bone. The delightful Apollo and Venus starting the theme were of course prepared in four mezzotint plates by Arnauld-Eloi, but painted by a Nancy artist, Jean Girardet, who died five years later... They are certainly stunning examples from neo-classical France, reproduced with sophisticated art by the Gautier Dagoty process" (Franklin, Early Colour Printing pp. 49-50). Choulant-Frank p. 273; Singer, Arnauld-Eloi Gautier d'Agoty, 1-15.
