Andreae Vesalii...suorum de humani corporis fabrica epitome.
Andreas Vesalius's 1543 Basel anatomy epitome, printed by Oporinus for medical students and physicians, condenses the larger Fabrica into a set of woodcut anatomical plates. The pictures show full-length flayed and vascular figures, organ studies and a portrait of the author beside a skeletal figure, with dense black linework and fine hatching a designer could borrow for scientific diagrams and engraved-style illustration.
