Responsio Ludovici de Bils domini a Coppensdamme, ... ad literas ad ipsum datas & nuper transmissas a ... Tobia Andreae ... : qua ostenditur verus usus vasorum hactenus pro lymphaticis habitorum ... Cum adjecta delineatione suorum actorum anatomicorum; nec non brevi ac compendiosa historia eorum, quae spectant artem ac scientiam condiendi balsamo singulari ac methodo nulli hactenus communi humana cadavera
A 1669 Latin anatomy treatise by Lodewijk de Bils, printed in Rotterdam by Arnold Leers, answering a fellow anatomist's challenge over the lymphatic vessels and a method of embalming bodies. Its two pictures are small woodcut decorations: an oval emblem framed by scrolled ornament with a robed woman holding a book and flowers, and a bouquet of roses, fruit and foliage tied with a ribbon. A designer could take from them the Baroque combination of framed allegorical vignettes and dense floral woodcut ornament.
