Jules Germain Cloquet's Anatomie de l'Homme should be described as the first major anatomical atlas to begin publication using stone lithography to compete with the engraved version. The four volumes include the sections on osteology, myology, neurology and angiology. The plates were published in sections over many years, and the lithographs were printed by de Lasteyrie and Engelman, pioneers of the development of lithographic art in France.

If you are interested in specific anatomical parts we have many other prints from the publication and they may be available upon request.
