Bernard Albinus (German 1697-1770)

Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body, 1749

These artworks are rare original engraved plates from Bernard Siegfried Albinus’s
(1697–1770) Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body, printed
in London by H. Woodfall, for John and Paul Knapton in 1749.

Bernard Albinus was a native of Frankfurt, Germany, where he became
Professor of Anatomy at the University of Leiden at the early age of 24.
He studied the human body and in collaboration with the artist Jan Wandelaar
(1647–1759) made the renown anatomical drawings from human specimens
which were to create his place in medical history. They devised a method for
the transfer of the accurate and proportional images of anatomy to drawings
by using two nets, or grids, of small chords. The number of plates in the book
totalled fifty, taking Albinus and artist-engraver Jan Wandelaar over eight
years to complete. Their efforts have without doubt produced some of the
most precise drawings of the human body ever published, and arguably some
of the most beautiful plates in the history of engraving.
