A remarkable educational work published by Vigot Frères in Paris, dedicated to the study of the human body. It presents a series of removable chromolithographed plates illustrating the muscular, skeletal, nervous, and circulatory systems. The articulated overlays allow the male figure to be progressively "undressed" to reveal the different anatomical layers. Published around 1900, it reflects the Belle Époque's taste for popular science, combining medical precision with typographic aesthetics. A complete copy, with its removable plates in perfect working order, and a few stains and old inscriptions on the cover.
