L'anatomie de l'homme suivant la circulation du sang, & les dernières découvertes, démontrées au Jardin royal...
A 1690 Paris anatomy textbook in French by surgeon Pierre Dionis, published by Laurent d'Houry for students and practitioners learning human anatomy after the circulation of the blood. Its copperplate pages are numbered plates of labelled figures: the ribcord and pelvis, the torso with organs exposed, the kidneys and vessels, and the skull with separate bones. A designer could take the orderly grid of lettered diagrams, the plate numbering, and the fine engraved hatching that models form.
