Philadelphia: Lea Brothers, 1885. First Edition.. Original publisher's cloth.. A very good copy; small inst stamp on the blank portion of the title page; small abrasion to the base of the backstrip of vol. 3.. Folio. There are 48 heliotype plates with additional outline plates.
The atlas contains 48 heliotype ' photographs of fresh specimens, prepared by the author. The photographs are superlative, and made from specimens and cross-sections. Choulant states: "A monumental textbook on the topography of the brain, for which he prepared all the specimens and drawings himself and closely supervised the production of photographs." It has been stated that only 250 copies were produced, but this limitation is dubious. DSB XV, 107 - 110; Finger p. 213. (Inventory #: 11102)
