Corporis humani disquisitio anatomica : in qua sanguinis circulationem in quavis corporis particula plurimis typis novis
A 1651 anatomical treatise by English physician Nathaniel Highmore, printed at The Hague by Samuel Broun, aimed at medical readers studying human blood circulation. Its numbered copperplate-style plates show dissected organs, vessels and the heart in plain line engraving with lettered keys. A designer might take the precise labelled diagrams, the branching vessel forms and the restrained monochrome engraving style as models for scientific figures.
