[GAUTIER-D'AGOTY, Jacques Fabien].

Hermaphrodite. Two colour-printed mezzotint plates.

[Paris], s.n., [1749].

More Details >

8000 €

Set of two colour-printed mezzotint depicting a hermaphrodite. Among one of the most spectacular prints in Gautier d'Agoty's work.

The two plates (1. side view, 2. front view) were originally intended to accompany a one-page booklet entitled: "Hermaphrodite. Dissertation au sujet de la fameuse hermaphrodite qui a paru aux yeux du public depuis environ trois mois, faite par le sieur Mertrud, chirurgien du Roi," Paris, Berryer éditeur, 1749.

These two large color engraved plates depict the sexual organs of the hermaphrodite Michel Anne Drouart, whose characteristics, examined by various scholars, were the subject of much controversy in Paris, then in England and Italy, where Drouart made several tours: "The subject is alive, aged 16... His father and mother raised him as a girl."

The second plate, not mentioned by the bibliographers, is extremely rare. Missing to the major Anglo-Saxon specialist libraries. (A copy can be found in Sweden at the Hagströmer Library. An other to the BIUSanté in France, an other one sold by Christies, Paris, 2016).

Original manuscript in French.
This anonymous manuscript reproduces the course given by Jean Astruc (1684 -1766), the holder of the chair of medicine at the Collège royal from 1731.
The teaching of the Montpellier doctor was very successful. Astruc dictated his courses and on several occasions these texts were published without the author's name and, poorly copied, distorted the thinking of the learned doctor. I
t was only at the end of his life that Astruc considered it necessary to write down his courses to avoid forgeries.
However, his teaching on children's diseases was never published. Only a "pirate" edition had appeared in English in 1746.
Our course reproduces the structure of the few manuscript copies that we know of, notably that of the Kottek manuscript of 1747, which had been the subject of a modern facsimile (Stalkine, 1980).
However, we will note some differences in the text; for example, in our manuscript, Astruc proposes the end of the first age of childhood at two and a half years (instead of three and a half years in the Kottek manuscript).
