Crisp and bright throughout internally with just some minor spotting and finger-soiling in places; outer margins of endpapers, frontispiece and title little browned from binder's glue; plate 7 misbound after 8; two short wormtracks near gutter of final leaves.

FIRST FOLIO EDITION, remarkable not only for the quality of the large plates but for "the ingenious historiated initials wittily decorated with myotomical motifs" (Norman). The first edition of Cowper's treatise on the muscular system of the human body was published in 1694 as a modest octavo with 10 plates. Cowper worked until his death on this greatly expanded edition, which was published 13 years later under the supervision and at the expense of the physician Richard Mead (1673-1754). With its 66 plates, some after Rubens and Raphael, its witty engraved initials and dramatic head- and tail-piece illustrations, this first folio edition ranks among the most artistically inventive anatomical atlases of the 17th and 18th centuries.
