Atlas of Human Anatomy and Surgery: The Complete Plates

by Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery Author and Nicolas Henri Jacob Illustrator

Eight volumes in one book, Jean Baptiste Marc Bourgery’s Atlas of Anatomy, remains a monumental and comprehensive anatomical treatise. Bourgery began working on the atlas in 1830 with illustrator Nicolas Henri Jacob. The first volumes were published in 1831, but the treatise took nearly two decades to complete. Bourgery finished his labor of love before his death, but the last volume was published five years later.

The eight volumes cover descriptive anatomy, surgical anatomy and techniques, general anatomy and embryology, and microscopic anatomy. Jacob’s spectacular hand-colored lithographs offer exceptional anatomical insight, reflecting a combination of direct laboratory observation and illustrative research.

This reminds me of an old Romani saying, "Bury me standing, for I have been on my knees all of my life."

Praxedis Guerrero is the author of that phrase, not camus, not che, not zapata. - an anarchist historian

Zapata died in 1919, when Camus was about 6-years-old. It's highly unlikely Zapata rephrased him.

That quote was actually first used by Albert Camus.And was rephrazed by Zapata. you may want to to look at 'Essay on Man in Revolt'

"it is better to die on one's feet than to live on one's knees."
~Albert Camus

Perhaps you're thinking of El Che? Zapata was very much an anarchist.
