Myologie Complette en Couleur et Grandeur Naturelle. Artist: Jacques Fabien Gautier Dagoty (French, Marseille 1716-1785 Paris). Author: Joseph Guichard Duverney (French, 1648-1730). Dimensions: 22 1/16 × 15 9/16 × 1 3/16 in. (56 × 39.5 × 3 cm). Publisher: Gautier (Paris). Date: 1746.Jacques-Fabien Gautier-Dagoty received a royal license for his technique of four-plate color printing in mezzotint, a process closely derived from the three-plate method of his teacher, Jacob Christoph Le Blon (to which Gautier-Dagoty added a plate printed in black or brown). Although he also made prints that reproduced paintings or depicted notable figures, Gautier-Dagoty's special interests lay in anatomy, botany, and zoology--fields that would be revolutionized by the publication of accurate color illustrations. He founded the first French illustrated scientific journal, and prepared large-scale publications such as Myologie complète en couleur et grandeur naturelle a treatise on the anatomy of muscles.
