AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important collection of 19th-century forensic medicine, published in Paris by Labé, bookseller to the Faculty of Medicine, in 1848.
Fourth edition, revised, corrected and greatly enlarged, containing the Treatise on Legal Exhumations in its entirety.
The set consists of 3 volumes bound into 4 physical volumes:
* Volume I
* Volume II
* Volume III – Part One
* Volume III – Part Two
The four volumes show a beautiful uniformity of binding: black half-leather, spines adorned with blind floral ornaments and gilt borders, titles and volume numbers gilded, marbled boards.
A work of particular interest for its content devoted to the beginnings of modern forensic medicine, toxicology, judicial expertises, poisons and arsenic, autopsy examinations and exhumations.
The edition is illustrated with plates, several of which are particularly remarkable, devoted to exhumations and the scientific procedures and instruments used in forensic analyses.
The plate depicting an exhumed corpse, as well as the large technical plates showing scientific apparatus, give this set a particularly strong documentary and historical interest.
Pagination: extensive:
Volume I: 825 pages
Volume II: 654 pages
Volume III: 1,086 pages in two parts
That is about 2,565 pages, to which the preliminary pages, tables and plates are added.
Condition
Remarkable interior condition for a work published in 1848.
The four volumes show exceptional internal freshness: paper unusually clear and well preserved, print very sharp, pages remained supple and clean, with only a few very rare foxing or occasional marks.
The plates are also very fresh and perfectly legible.
The bindings show some rubbing and signs of use consistent with their age, particularly on the boards and some edges, while maintaining a very handsome overall presentation. The spine is decorative, gilding still well preserved.
A homogeneous set, complete in its three volumes bound into four, particularly appealing for the exceptional freshness of its interiors.
