A 1661 Latin anatomical reply by the physician Lodewijk de Bils, printed in Rotterdam by Arnold Leers, answering criticisms from Johannes van Horne and Paul Barbette and aimed at the medical and anatomical profession. The pictures are small black-and-white letterpress ornaments, including a clock-like cartouche, a decorated initial Q, and an allegorical vignette, plus one dissected anatomical plate with lettered organs; a designer might draw on the engraved ornament and the lettered labelling style.
