Etching appears on title page, below text, of the first part of the "Recueil" which deals with osteology, or the study of bones. The second part of the "Recueil" deals with myology, or the study of muscles. All of the illustrations were designed by Gamelin, who executed some, but not all, of the prints. The "Recueil" was published in 1779 by Desclassan.
