Condition generally fine with the occasional minor tone spot or ageing.Like Maclise, and Carswell, George Viner Ellis was professor of anatomy at University College, London, which in the first thirty-five years of its existence, produced a remarkable series of anatomical atlases. Ellis and his artist Ford chose the comparatively new method of chromolithography for the reproduction of their imperial folio atlas of fifty-eight plates. The printing of such complex plates in color was difficult, as chromolithography was still in a developmental stage; the plates were printed between 1863 and 1867, with four to seven finished each year. The plates are exceptional for accuracy and clarity; they are also exceptional for their aesthetic depiction of the dead.
