First Edition. G-M 473. Exceptionally beautiful imperial folio plates, each with several figures, showing the developing embryo in series. The illustrations were intended to supplement William Hunter's plates of the gravid uterus (G-M 6157), which show only the latter half of pregnancy; the illustrations rival those of Hunter for beauty and accuracy. The artist Kock was personally trained by Soemmerring, acknowledged one of the greatest of all anatomists and anatomical illustrators. Waller 9045.

Although the color in Imperial Folio plates are often faded if they were framed and exposed to light, we have the impression that the color tends to hold up better than the color in Havell Edition plates.

An interesting link about paper and book sizes and printing terms
Folio meant cut in half, quarto cut in quarters, sixmo cut in sixths and octavo cut in eights. For example:
Imperial = 30" x 22"
Imperial folio = 15" x 22"
Imperial quarto = 15" x 11"
Imperial octavo = 7.5" x 11"
