Perhaps it is just me, but these skeletons remind me of an exercise class I once went to. Despite this, though, this is a lovely set of French books on the Natural History of Health and Disease.

It deals with both the plant and animal world (with a perhaps understandable bias towards human kind). With an engraved front illustration, and 19 lovely colour chromo-lithographs, this fascinating set illustrates health and illness in many of is forms.
