Description: Description: Hand Atlas of Human Anatomy. Part 3. Moscow 1901-1906. I feel this is a rare Russian first edition, as there is no indication of the edition like the other ones, and being that the English translation was not finished until 1903. Excellent illustrations, & there is a lot of additional information to learn about Human Anatomy when comparing to Western books on the subject, even though the Western textbooks are excellent and second to none, Nevertheless this is a great companion and provides additional important detail that has been ignored over time. Lithography of the Association In Kushnerev and Co. Magnificently illustrated edition with 935 drawings. Atlas on human anatomy, compiled by a professor at the University of Leipzig and the curator of the anatomical museum, Werner Spalteholz. With the assistance of Wilhelm Gies, professor of anatomy at the University of Leipzig. In this part of the atlas are: - spinal cord, - brain, - central nervous system, - the sense organs, - skin covering. АТЛАСЪ АНАТОМИИ ЧЕЛОВЕКА МОСКВА 1901-1906 Атлас по анатомии человека.

Werner Spalteholz (27 February 1861 in Dresden – 12 January 1940 in Leipzig) was a German anatomist. From 1880 to 1885 he studied medicine at the University of Leipzig, where in 1891 he obtained his habilitation for anatomy. In 1892 he became an associate professor and curator of the anatomical collections at the university. During World War I, he initially served as chief physician, then as director, of a reserve hospital in Zwickau. He was instrumental towards the establishment of the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden. He is credited for developing a method for making human tissue translucent by drenching it in liquids with similar light refraction properties as the tissue. Examples of transparent organ specimens that he produced were put on display at the First International Hygiene Exposition in Dresden (1911). He was the author of the three volume "Handbuch der Anatomie des Menschen", of which this listing is roughly Volume 3 in Russian (However does not contain the part on Viscera). It was published over many editions and subsequently translated into English as: "Hand atlas of human anatomy" (1901–03); Vol. 1. Bones, joints, ligaments. Vol. 2. Regions, muscles, tissues, heart, blood-vessels. Vol. 3. Viscera, brain, nerves, sense-organs. And then translated into Russian (1901-1906).
