Excerpt from History and Bibliography of Anatomic Illustration: In Its Relation to Anatomic Science and the Graphic Arts The purpose of this book is a presentation of the history and the bibliography of representations of human anatomy by graphic means. Due consideration has been given both to anatomic illustration and to representations belonging to the graphic or plastic arts. For a satis factory attainment Oi his purpose, the author will first present a brief historical introduction (pp. 22 to which will be followed by explana tory sections (pp. 42 to 3 in order to avoid crowding the introduction with confusing details. 7. The historic character Of the work necessarily set a certain time-limit to both lines of consideration, to the scientific as well as to the artistic. The earlier period of anatomic illustrations ends with Soemmerring and Mascagni. With increasing needs, a new era sets in, differing from the preceding one in its conception of the graphic arts and in the use of new tools and means of reproduction. The development of histologic and microscopic anatomy, the employment of lithography, steel en graving, the daguerreotype, the modern woodcut, and other graphic means, all brought about manifold changes in the methods of anatomic representation. This epoch has no place within the domain of historic research, but has to do rather with a critical appreciation Of the literary demands and resources of the present time and of modern science. For this reason the treatment of the subject concludes with the two anato mists above mentioned, adding only the two most important collective works of a later time, those Of Loder and Caldani, which were meces sarily characteristic of the former period, since they presented only material belonging to it.
