MASCAGNI, Paolo (1755-1815). Anatomiae Universae...Icones. Pisa: Capurri, 1823-1833. A scarce and monumental work, a masterpiece of nineteenth-century anatomy. Paolo Mascagni was a renowned Tuscan anatomist and professor who distinguished himself in his attention to the depiction of the body, to such an extent that in 1813 he was appointed 'Professor of Anatomy of the First Class of the Arts of Drawing' at the Accademia di Firenze. The 'Anatomiae Universae Icones' was to be the culminating work of his career, but he died before it was published in 1815. It was his heirs in 1822 sold the previously completed copperplates, engraved by the anatomical illustrator Antonio Serantoni and the engraver Giuseppe Canacci, to the Pisan professors A. Vacca-Berlinghieri, G. Barzellotti, and G. Rosini, who edited the edition published in nine gatherings by the Pisan publisher Niccolò Capurro between 1823 and 1832. The sale price was impressive at the time, 1125 francs for the black-and-white version and 2500 francs for the coloured version. The forty-four coloured plates are hand-coloured and are accompanied by outline-only black-and-white plates that serve as a guide and explanation for reading the various anatomical parts, and the sheets are so large that a whole body can be composed from three of them. The muscles are drawn on a flesh-coloured pastel background, the internal organs faithfully represented: vessels and nerves are shown in red, blue and white. A unique work, a true masterpiece of anatomical illustration. Atlas folio, (945 x 680mm). Title-page and dedication to Leopold II, both engraved, 88 plates: 44 hand-coloured and 44 black-and-white combined (waterstains to outer margin occasionally affecting a limited portion of plates, foxing). Contemporary binding with calf spine, gilt titles and decoration, later endpapers (some light wear and waterstaining).(1)
