TINNEY, JOHN. D.1761.
A Compendious Treatise of Anatomy. London: Robert Sayer, [C.1770].
Folio (370 x 243 mm). 8 engraved plates after Vesalius and Cowper. Modern buckram. Some browning and darkening.
WITH: A Compendious Treatise of Anatomy. London: R.H. Laurie, 1827.
Folio. 7 (of 10) engraved plates. Publisher's plain blue wrappers, rebacked. Lacking plates III, V, and VII, dampstaining to outer margins, chipping and spotting to wrappers, foxing.

Two editions of Tinney's classic work, copying the anatomical plates of Vesalius and Cowper, "adapted for the arts of designing, painting and sculpture." Originally published in 1743 as Compendium Anatomicum, it would go through several editions, with more plates being added over time, even after Tinney's death. The undated edition, containing the full complement of eight plates called for on the title page, was probably published around 1770; by the time of the 1827 edition published by Laurie, the number of plates had expanded to ten. Tinney was an engraver and print seller who taught the craft to other important British engravers, including John Browne, Anthony Walker, and William Woollett.
