Hyrtl, J. The Anatomy of Corrosion and Its Findings. Vienna, Braumuller 1873. Large 4°. With 18 chromolithographic plates. viii, 253 p. Original half-cloth binding; some stamps on title page; plates with some foxing. G.&.M. no. 425: “Hyrtl, skilled in making anatomical preparations, built up a collection that was unsurpassed in Europe. In the above work, he described a method of his own invention, in which he injected the blood vessels of the various organs, while the adjacent tissue was etched away by acids, in order to reveal the finest ramifications.” The colored lithographic plates are of the highest quality, depicting the tympanum, lacrimal apparatus, bronchi, portal vein, bile ducts, kidney, and other structures with blood vessels. (Choulant-Frank, p. 422.) Waller. 5047. His *Corrosions-Anatomie* is a lasting testament to his unique skill in creating anatomical preparations. — 56.
