Nineteenth Century
Gray's Anatomy remains the most popular medical text ever written and is still in print.
Traité Complet d'Anatomie de l'Homme (1866-1871) 2nd ed. by Bourgery, Bernard, and Jacob
The art of medical illustration reached another peak in the nineteenth century with the eleven volume compendium by Bourgery and Claude Bernard with anatomist NH Jacob, written between 1866 and 1871. The beauty of the colored illustrations has remained unsurpassed. This is a representation of the chest and the abdomen.

Anatomy Descriptive and Surgical (1858) by Henry Gray
Henry Gray's text remains relevant today, though John W Parker and Son published the first edition in London in 1858; the engravings were accurately “executed by Messrs. Butterworth and Heath.” This is the anatomy of the heart.
