Clarkson, in his later years, would go on to campaign, much to the chagrin of the Dutch and others still involved in this illicit trade, for the complete and total abolition of the slave trade worldwide, which of course was resisted by quite powerful forces, who had made up until then, exponential amounts of money off of human trafficking.

PERNKOPF ATLAS Of TOPOGRAPHICAL AND APPLIED HUMAN ANATOMY VOLS 1&2 1963/64 RARE!
This is a beautiful edition of the infamous Pernkopf set of anatomy books. And I believe also the rarest. Why? Because it was printed by a different printer than most of the ones you see available. The most notable difference is the color of the cloth covers. This set has beautiful silver/grey cloth covers, as compared to the greenish covers of the more common edition. <br /> The green-cover books were printed by F. Bruckmann KG, and these silver grey cover books were printed by Kastner & Callwey, both printers from Munich. See the photos that indicate Kastner & Callwey as the printer
