Scarce and very desirable volume from John Deaver, a physician of note from the late 19th. and early 20th. century. Oversized hardcover…11” x 8.25”. 709 clean, unmarked pages without any age tone. 499 full plate illustrations, all drawn from dissections. Good binding. Internal condition of the book is very good+ approaching near fine. It’s hard to overestimate the quality of the illustrations and the heavy, top notch paper used. The text block edges are nicely marbled. The exterior has wear…..Corner scrapes, edge wear, spine cover ends rubbed. No exterior soiling.
