Editio nova
A 1684 Lyon anatomical treatise by Raymond Vieussens, physician of Montpellier, on the nerves, brain and spinal cord, printed for scholars and medical readers. Its engraved plates show brain sections in plain black line and stippled shading, with lettered keys tying each part to the text. A designer might take the dense crosshatching and fine stipple from these copperplate views, which suit organic textures and vintage scientific diagrams.
