Historiarum anatomicarum rariorum centuria I et II
Historiarum anatomicarum rariorum centuria I et II is a 1654 anatomical treatise by Thomas Bartholin, printed at The Hague by Adriaan Vlacq for physicians and students of anatomy. Its engravings and woodcuts show dissected organs, skeletal hands, and body parts, with a mermaid-like figure and a flayed limb set beside them. A designer might take from them the dense crosshatched line work and the diagrammatic labelling of anatomical plates.
