Quarto (29cm); blue card post-bound binder with typescript label to upper cover; [8]ll. of clear plastic sleeves containing sixteen leaves of yellow grid paper featuring eighty original pencil sketches of human teeth captioned in manuscript ink. Moderate wear from handling, else Very Good.

Detailed compilation of pencil sketches of human teeth, from maxillary central incisor to mandibular third molar, each portrayed from different angles with fairly impressive use of shading. The teeth, drawn on an oversized scale, take on an almost fantastical aura, like something out of a dragon's mouth. Dentistry meets figure drawing.
