Jacques-Fabien Gautier-DagotyFrench, 1710 - 1781
Jacques-Fabien Gautier Dagoty's mezzotints were the first anatomical illustrations in France to be printed in full color. Gautier Dagoty based his prints on firsthand study of the dissections carried out by Joseph-Guichard Duverney, a highly respected surgeon who furnished the text for each plate. A contemporary advertisement for these medical illustrations promoted them as an "absolute necessity for surgeons, painters, sculptors, and, in a word, for all those dedicated to the study of the human body."
