Histoire anatomique d'une matrice extraordinaire
A 1683 anatomical study printed in Paris by Jean Cusson, written in French by the surgeon Pierre Dionis for a medical readership, describing an unusual human uterus. Its folding engraved plates show dissected reproductive organs drawn in fine cross-hatched line, with lettered keys to each part, and a designer might take their precise, diagrammatic clarity and the stippled shading of the egg-shaped forms.
