The anatomy of the brain : containing its mechanism and physiology, together with some new discoveries and corrections of ancient and modern authors upon that subject : to which is annex’d a particular account of animal functions and muscular motion, the whole illustrated with elegant sculptures after the life
Humphrey Ridley's The Anatomy of the Brain, printed in London in 1695 by Sam. Smith and Benj. Walford, is a learned anatomical treatise on the brain and muscular motion for physicians and students of the period. Its plates are engraved copperplate views of the skull base, the brain's underside with the spinal cord, and the vessels and membranes, rendered in fine hatched shading that suggests dissection drawn from life and offers designers a model for scientific engraving.
