Edition originale du premier ouvrage d'Alexandre Parent-Duchatelet (1790-1836) qui s'illustrera en particulier par ses travaux sur l'hygiène publique (cf. Garrison & Morton, 1606 et 1607). Il fut rédigé avec la collaboration de Louis Martinet (1795-1875), qui fut l'interne de Dupuytren puis le chef de clinique de Récamier. Il s'agit d'un important travail sur la méningite, reposant sur 140 observations et comportant une étude clinique et pathologique. Les auteurs distinguent l'inflammation de la convexité des hémisphères, caractérisée par le délire, de l'inflammation de la base, caractérisée par les accidents spasmodiques et l'assoupissement.

Condition: Fine. This originally hand-colored, folio bird engraving is from Francois-Nicolas & Alexandre Martinet's work with the title pages reading "Oiseaux par Martinet, ingà nieur peintre graveur et naturaliste, rue Julien le Pauvre" and "Oiseaux par Martinet, tome 2, An VIII". It was printed in Paris in the early 1800s. --- Many of the birds depicted were from the Americas, Africa, Malabar, India, China, Greenland, and more. The title pages were hand-written to this work, and undated. The plates were after images originally published in Martinet's "Histoire des Oiseaux Peints dans Tous Leurs Aspects Apparents et Sensibles" as well as his rare work "Petit atlas dâornithologie ou Collection choisie dâOiseaux les plus connus". --- Alexandre, Martinet's son, produced the rare "Petit atlas" in 1815 when his father's original publication did not reach the acclaim he felt it deserved. He noted "This collection was published around thirty-six years ago by my father, a collaborator of Mr. de Buffon for ornithology: at the time, it was a great success; but the revolution suddenly changed the habits and occupations of the French and nearly all Europeans, and this work did not receive the recognition it deserved. Today. I present this collection to the public once again, in a form and order I believe will capture their interest. --- Ronsil notes: âAs this statement by Alexandre Martinet might suggest, this atlas is neither a reproduction, nor a reprint, nor a continuation of Martinet Sr.âs "Planches Enluminà es", although the engraving and coloring are similar. That both father and son collaborated on it cannot be ruled out. It is even possible that some of these plates were originally intended for Buffonâs "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux." --- François-Nicolas Martinet (1731â"1800) was an engineer, draftsman, and engraver of the King's Cabinet. He was one of the greatest birds artists of the 18th century. Martinet's illustrations are accurate and beautifully artistic, but brought an element of realism to bird illustrations. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or fox marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 11 1/4" by 18".

He noted "This collection was published around thirty-six years ago by my father, a collaborator of Mr. de Buffon for ornithology: at the time, it was a great success; but the revolution suddenly changed the habits and occupations of the French and nearly all Europeans, and this work did not receive the recognition it deserved.
