De partu hominis
De partu hominis is a 1556 Frankfurt medical treatise on childbirth by Eucharius Rösslin, printed by Christian Egenolff and illustrated with woodcuts for midwives and physicians. The four pictures show a foetus in a uterus-like sac in several positions, drawn in fine parallel hatching with the surrounding printed text visible in places, offering a designer clear, compact anatomical diagrams in a sixteenth-century woodcut style.
