Jacques-Pierre MAYGRIER Nouvelles démonstrations d'accouchemens

Jacques-Pierre MAYGRIER

Antoine CHAZAL

Nouvelles démonstrations d'accouchemens

Bechet, à Paris 1822, 30x43cm, relié.


MAYGRIER Jacques-Pierre & CHAZAL Antoine
Nouvelles démonstrations d'accouchemens
[New Demonstrations of Deliveries]
Bechet, à Paris 1822, 30 x 43 cm, contemporary brown calf
First edition, with the illustrations of the author (often missing) and 79 plates (plate 27-28 double page) hors texte steel-engraved by Forestier after drawings by Antoine Chazal.
Strictly contemporary Romantic binding in brown calf, spine in six compartments richly decorated with gilt fillets and blindtooled arabesques, boards with blindtooled arabesques to corners, double fillet frame and gilt initials ‘A.D.' to centre, gilt roulette framing marbled endpapers and pastedowns, double gilt fillets to edges of covers. Binding very skilfully restored.
Jacques-Pierre Maygrier (1771-1835) was a student of Antoine Dubois, the obstetrician of Empress Marie-Louise. He practiced at the Cochin hospital and at the Hôtel Dieu and lectured extensively on obstetrics with the intention of simplifying the teaching of the subject (e.g. on the anatomy of the fetus, the mechanics of birth, etc.).
A very attractive copy of this rare and magisterial atlas of obstetrics in a remarkable strictly contemporary binding.
