​George McClellan, ​MD, ​Anatomy in Its Relation to Art​: An Exposition of the Bones Muscles of the Human Body With Especial Reference to Their Influence Upon Its Actions and External Form​. Philadelphia and London: ​W.B. Saunders and Company​, ​1901 ​ ​Large and heavy quarto (30 x 23 cm): ​8 + 142 + '338 original drawings and photographs made by the author and expressly prepared for this work'. ​The illustrations appear on 127 very striking plates. In original leather and leatherette, a very good copy. ​It is very rare indeed to find this heavy book in such excellent condition: normally it's binding is wrecked and some plates are often missing. The book was reviewed in JAMA on its appearance: 'This work has been prepared for art students. The artist's aim is to know the human form so that he may reproduce that form on canvas or in marble. The physician and those who are interested in physical training, or in anthropology, will also find in this book a wealth of suggestions for physical development. The illustrations consist of photographs of the nude male and female forms in various poses, side by side with photographs of some of the masterpieces of sculpture in like poses. Photographs of the skeletons by the side of the living nude form in the same positions make startling parallels. The book certainly will be a welcome one to the artist whose ideals are those which come nearest to nature. The descriptive text is in simple language, accurate, and in detail sufficient to describe the illustrations. The book is a magnificent production and a credit alike to Professor McClellan and to the publisher'. Professor McClellan also published "Regional Anatomy in Its Relation to Medicine and Surgery" and "Anatomy of Children.". Please note that this is a large and very heavy book.
