Beschreibung

Black pebbled quarter leather and marbled boards. Tan, yellow, gold, and red marbled endpapers. 872 pages illustrated with 101 figures drawn from nature. Duchenne de Boulogne was a pioneering French neurologist and one of the greatest clinicians of his day. He was the first to describe several nervous and muscular disorders and, in developing medical treatment for them, created electrodiagnosis and electrotherapy. He also invented an instrument to sample tissues inside the body, founding the diagnostic practice of biopsy. Duchenne summarized his work in two major treatises. His book Mecanisme de la Physionomie Humaine ou Analyse Electro-Physiologique de L'Expression des Passions (translated as The Electrical Stimulation of Muscles for Facial Expression) illustrated with photographs is considered a true incunabulum of photography and copies sell for up to $20,000. This other major work of Duchenne's (modern translation titled Physiology of Motion) appears to be even scarcer. Expertly re-backed with what appears to be the original spine and gilt titled label. Hinges neatly repaired, some light scattered foxing mainly to early and late pages. The text is clean and bright. A nice copy of a scarce work. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 15502
