"Essai d'anatomie, en tableaux imprimés, qui representent au naturel tous les muscles de la face, du col, de la tête, de la langue & du larinx, d'après les parties disséquées & préparées, par Monsieur Duverney ... comprenant huit grandes planches dessinées, peintes, gravées & imprimées en couleur & grandeur naturelles, par le Sieur Gautier ... " has a separate title page dated 1745. "Suite de l'essai d'anatomie, en tableaux imprimes, representent au naturel tous les muscles du pharinx, du tronc & des extrémités suprérieures & inférieures, d'après les parties disséquées & préparées, par Monsieur Duverney ..." has a caption title and a colophon which reads: De l'Imprimerie de Quillau, rue Galande, à l'Annonciation, 1748. According to Choulant, etc., the two parts of the 'Myologie' were first issued separately in 1745 but Gautier's note at the end of "Anatomie générale des viscères" states that the "Essai" did not appear until 1746. Main title page in red and black. The "Myologie complette" is the second edition of his Essai d'anatomie, and the second edition of his Suite de l'essai d'anatomie, brought together in one volume. Cf. Choulant-Frank. History and bibliography of anatomic illustration. The plates are colour-printed mezzotints engraved by Jacques Gautier from the dissections of G.J. Duverney.
