Amsterdam, Janssoons van Waesberge, [1739]-1744. Three volumes in three. 4to (27.1 x 22.2 cm). Engraved allegorical "Wunderkammer" frontispiece and engraved portrait of Ruysch. Three half-titles, three titles in red and black, additional title in black; 1575 pp. (104; 483 [of which pp. 30-44 not numbered]; [484]-932, 546[bis]-552[bis]; [933]-1280, [clxxxiii]). 133 engraved, mostly folded plates (Neerd 8-72; 73-119, 93*; 120-139), of which several spectacularly large, and eight (groups of) numbered text illustrations, numbered I-IX, 3-4, but with III-V in one figure]. Contemporary uniform quarter calf over marbled boards. Spines with five raised bands; compartments with gilt floral borders and vignettes, and red and black morocco labels with gilt title. = A very rare complete, and uncut copy, including all the spectacular "Wunderkammer" plates and the fine portrait of Fredrik, or Frederik, Ruysch (1638-1731) by the Dutch artist and engraver Jan Wandelaar (1690-1759), who, for instance, also engraved the allegorical frontispiece and plants in Linnaeus's Hortus Cliffortianus, and the anatomical plates of Albinus's Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani. Central to this work are the bizarre, but anatomically correct illustrations of foeteses and anatomical preparations. "Ruysch drew on his art not only for strict medical science but also for flights and fancy. He often made up preparations in a rather romantic, dramatic way. He prepared the corpse of a child as if it were still alive so that Peter the Great was inclined to kiss it. A hydrocephalid child was prepared, seated on a cushion and with a placenta in its hands. Ruysch displayed these preparations . and this 'cabinet' became a major attraction for foreign visitors. . In 1715 he announced the sale of his collection but no buyers presented themselves before 1717 when Peter the Great bought it for 30,000 guilders" (DSB). The work consists of three main parts, and an index, or Breedvoerige blad-wyzer van alle uytgegevene zoo ontleedt- genees- als heelkundige werken van Frederik Ruysch, compiled by Bavius Baarda (183 unnumbered pages). The main part is preceded by a 104 pp. Verhaal van 't leven en de verdiensten [story of the life and merits] van Frederik Ruysch, written by J. F. Schreiber. The extended titles of the three parts, which describe the contents, are as follows. Eerste deel: Behelzende, het leven van den autheur, d'ontdekking van de klapvliesen, d'anatomische en chirurgicale aanmerkingen, en catalogus van rariteyten; als mede all d'ontleedkundige voorgestelde brieven met verscheide geleerde lieden gewisselt. Tweede deel: Behelzende, alle d'anatomische cabinetten, beneffens de laatste en vernieuwende oeffeningen [i.e., the description of Ruysch's 'Wunderkammer' artefacts]; Derde deel: Behelzende, het eerste, tweede en derde tiental van ontleed- genees- en heelkundige oeffeningen, d'otleedkundige verhandelinge van een spier in de grond des baarmoeders en briefwisseliinge [sic] daar over van A. Vater en Hequet, d'ontleedkundige verhandelingen over het maakzel der klieren in 't menscheliyke lichaam door Hermanus Boerhaven, Bohlius over het gebruik der spruyten van de holader, en het cabinet der dieren, beneffens een generaal register. All are translated in Nederduytsch (Low German, i.e., Dutch) by the Dutch medical doctor Ysbrand Gysbert Arlebout. A few pages are misnumbered, as always: page 47 as 45, p. 296 as 395, p. 351 as 315; p. 553 as 554, and 554 as 546; p. 1252 as 252, and after the misnumbered p. 554 there are extra pages, numbered 547-554. Text, however, is continuous. Several book dealers and libraries report 134 plates, but then include the frontispiece and portrait, and, apparently, overlook or miss Plate 93*. Some include the text illustrations in their tally; however, the two text illustrations on p. 47 of the main work are often overlooked. Our set is absolutely complete, uncut, therefore extremely wide-margined (a few leaves unopened at the top e.…

Amsterdam, Janssoons van Waesberge, 1744. Single leaf (25.6 x 21.0 cm). = This finely engraved plate depicts an item from the collection of natural history objects by the Dutch medical doctor and zoologist Frederik Ruysch (1638-1731).

Amsterdam, Johannes Wolters, 1701. Single leaf (22.8 x 17.4 cm). = This wonderful, spectacular, finely engraved "Wunderkammer" plate depicts items from the collection of natural history objects by the Dutch medical doctor and zoologist Frederik Ruysch (1638-1731). Published in his Thesaurus Anatomicus or Anatomisch Cabinet [Anatomical Thesaurus]. Central to Ruysch's work are the bizarre, but anatomically correct illustrations of fetuses and anatomical preparations. Shown here is a human juvenile skeleton, on a pedestal, holding very small fetuses, and surrounded by several other parts of the human anatomy. First issue of this highly unusual, and mysterious anatomical-philosophical plate. It was engraved by C. Huijberts, "ad vivum sculpsit". Plate engraved "Thes: VI, Tab: III". "Ruysch drew on his art not only for strict medical science but also for flights and fancy. He often made up preparations in a rather romantic, dramatic way.

This is Neerd Taf. 95, however, printed before the Neerd numbering (i.e., first edition). Very weak folds. A few, short marginal tears, a rather vague damp stain in the lower right; otherwise, a good, attractive item. Nissen ZBI, 3541.…

Amsterdam, Johannes Wolters, 1701. Very large single leaf (41.3 x 36.1 cm). = This spectacular, finely engraved "Wunderkammer" plate depicts items from the collection of natural history objects by the Dutch medical doctor and zoologist Frederik Ruysch (1638-1731). Published in his Thesaurus Anatomicus or Anatomisch Cabinet [Anatomical Thesaurus].

A few skilful, marginal repairs, the one in the middle right margin going well into the print, but very hard to notice, because of a very professional repair. In all a fine, clean copy of this fascinating scene. Nissen ZBI, 3541.…
