The anatomy of human bodies,... containing many new anatomical discoveries and chirurgical observations
This is a 1698 Oxford anatomical treatise by William Cowper, printed by Smith, describing human bodies with new discoveries and surgical observations, aimed at physicians and surgeons. The pictures include ornate putto-and-scroll cartouches and dense copperplate anatomy plates of organs, vessels and dissections, showing how fine line engraving builds form and shadow for a designer studying detailed technical drawing.
