That's some remarkable illustration - especially the woman with the flayed back. Welcome to the blogosphere - I'm looking forward to reading your posts!
Earlier today, I bought a book called Human Anatomy: Depicting the Body from the Renaissance to Today, by Rifkin, Ackerman & Folkenberg, which contains a chapter about d'Agoty. And now, completely by chance, I've just stumbled on this blog (which is fantastic, by the way).
I've been looking for a book containing all the Gautier-d'Agoty illustrations from his "Myologie." Basically a reproduction of the entire book. If anyone comes across it, please post.
The Morbid Anatomy Library is now open to the public as part of the Proteus Gowanus Interdisciplinary Gallery and Reading Room in Brooklyn, New York. The Library houses the collection of books, catalogs, photographs, articles and artifacts used as source material for the ongoing Morbid Anatomy project. The Library is open most weekdays Monday through Friday, 12-6 PM, but please email me before visiting to make sure the library will be open. You can reach me at morbidanatomy@gmail.com.
